# TypeScript compiler, checker and LSP ported to Rust with an LLM

A project posted to Hacker News describes porting the TypeScript compiler, its type checker and language server to Rust, with the translation work carried out by a large language model. If the port is functional, it would show that LLMs can handle very large, complex code migrations rather than only small scripts. The claim is being discussed by developers skeptical of how complete or correct an automated port of this scale can be.
