 > 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)
 
+> 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)
