A miniature model of the TypeScript compiler written in TypeScript, containing two versions: micro-typescript (a tiny textbook-style compiler) and centi-typescript (a 1/100 scale model of the real compiler). It is intended to teach developers how the actual TypeScript compiler is structured, with exercises to practice on.

Use cases

• learn how the typescript compiler works internally
• study compiler frontend and checker structure
• practice compiler exercises like adding statements and literals
• read a small reference implementation of a type checker
• understand how tsc parses and binds code

When to choose

• you want to learn the architecture of the real TypeScript compiler
• you prefer learning by reading and modifying small code with exercises
• you want a simplified model of a checker without production clutter

When to avoid

• you want a general-purpose or production TypeScript compiler
• you want to learn general compiler theory from a textbook
• you need language services, caching, or full language support
