+## FAQ
+
+### Does it do type-checking?
+
+No, [esbuild does not support type checking](https://esbuild.github.io/faq/#:~:text=TypeScript%20type%20checking%20(just%20run%20tsc%20separately)).
+
+It's recommended to run TypeScript separately as a command (`tsc --noEmit`) or via [IDE IntelliSense](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/typescript).
+
+
+### How is `tsx` different from [`ts-node`](https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node)?
+
+They are both tools to run TypeScript files and start a TypeScript REPL.
+
+The main difference is that `tsx` is powered by [esbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/) for blazing fast compilation. But because it uses esbuild, it doesn't type check like ts-node.
+
+If you migrated from `ts-node`, please share your performance gains [here](https://github.com/esbuild-kit/tsx/discussions/10)!
