When I tried Typescript briefly, it seemed like the compiler was surprisingly slow. Not super slow, just nothing at all like writing raw JS directly, or Python or anything like that.

This blog post emphasizes that BuckleScript compiles very quickly. Sounds very appealing.

BS full rebuild for a project with 300 takes around 3s. Incremental per-file compilation is below three digits of ms.
