NOPE, I talked about it somehwere around here:

But they _really_ should add it though.

I mean Turbowarp converts Scratch games to JavaScript to make them run faster, so maybe you can switch to JavaScript? L\_L (idk what I’m talking about)

makecode compiles code in a way that makes my raycaster run ~53 times slower than normal js, no matter what you do (switch to js, use random keywords, etc.) it will **never be real js**. In fact, your project is being compiled into a huge 2MB string that gets ran through `eval`. I think the [@moderators](https://forum.makecode.com/groups/moderators) _could_ explain more about it, but they probably don’t want to.
