How much work is required to become a drop in replacement for tsc and the typescript language server?

I recognize this is out of scope and would require funding. But how much work would you be looking at to get it to tsc dropping drop in status?

Is there a road map for onboarding less experienced contributors? For large typescript projects, the performance of tsc is becoming unsustainable.

Becoming a drop-in replacement is not the goal since I don't want to copy the design limitations, bugs, and legacy decisions of tsc.

Is there a road map for onboarding less experienced contributors?

No, not yet

If we were to only target the language server for VS Code, so that type checking errors and default import suggestions would work, is that possible?

For a project with more than 100 projects, it just grinds to a halt. Been trying to find a solution for years. Is this something we can develop using the existing code base you have?
