 **AssemblyScript** compiles strictly typed [TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.org) (basically JavaScript with types) to [WebAssembly](http://webassembly.org) using [Binaryen](https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen). It generates lean and mean WebAssembly modules while being just an `npm install` away.
 
 Try it out in [WebAssembly Studio](https://webassembly.studio)!

 Motivation
 ----------
 
-> Being able to write C-performance code in TypeScript feels so good – Ari on [Slack](https://assemblyscript.slack.com) (Apr 19, 2018)
+> AssemblyScript was frictionless. Not only does it allow you to use TypeScript to write WebAssembly, [...] it also produces glue-free WebAssembly modules that are very small with decent performance. – Surma, [Replacing a hot path in your app's JavaScript with WebAssembly](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/02/hotpath-with-wasm) (Feb 16, 2019)
 
 > Perhaps the fundamental issue [to get a small .wasm file] is that JavaScript is the only language for which the Web runtime is a perfect fit. Close relatives that were designed to compile to it, like TypeScript, can be very efficient as well. But languages like C, C++, Rust, and so forth were not originally designed for that purpose. – Alon Zakai, [Small WebAssembly Binaries with Rust + Emscripten](https://kripken.github.io/blog/binaryen/2018/04/18/rust-emscripten.html) (Apr 18, 2018)
 
 > JavaScript's heyday as the only browser language is over, but most web developers are used to writing JavaScript, and learning a new syntax just to get access to WebAssembly is not (always) ideal. If only there was something in to bridge the gap… – Jani Tarvainen, [TypeScript is the bridge between JavaScript and WebAssembly](https://malloc.fi/typescript-bridge-javascript-webassembly) (Feb 20, 2018)
 
 > I do think [compiling TypeScript into WASM] is tremendously useful. It allows JavaScript developers to create WASM modules without having to learn C. – Colin Eberhardt, [Exploring different approaches to building WebAssembly modules](http://blog.scottlogic.com/2017/10/17/wasm-mandelbrot.html) (Oct 17, 2017)
