No, they have a plugin into the typescript compiler which uses their API. tsc already exposes all of the info they need.


Okay so it's not a forked compiler but it's adding a feature to the compiler.

At which point it makes a lot of sense to ask why that feature shouldn't be merged.


Because of feature creep. I don't need that feature. Don't merge things that can be kept separate. It is called modularity.


According to their (tst-reflect's) README, tsc doesn't support plugins. The plugin support comes from a fork called ttsc.
