Experimenting with TSGo with @excaliburjs.com
Emitting declaration files is roughly 5X faster than tsc 🚀
However, there are still issues in the output that I *think* are known issues (cc @jakebailey.dev).
In order to test the build, I'll need Vite + rolldown preview.

And I'm now using it to make a bare bones draw poker demo.
