The only way I can see this being true is if you really hate TypeScript with a passion. I can't really imagine any contemporary language feeling 10x better than another.

I'm not here to defend node.js... but this links to a blog post from 2011 with a benchmark which uses a single node.js process on a 4-core server vs Haskell which will use all four cores. That's a cool feature on the Haskell side but it's not comparing like-for-like, since you'd normally spin up a cluster of node.js processes one-per-core in this scenario.
If you multiply the node.js result from this ancient benchmark x4 you find that it's faster than Yesod, the Haskell framework
