Announcing TypeScript 5.9
Today we are excited to announce the release of TypeScript 5.9!If you're not familiar with TypeScript, it's a language that builds on JavaScript by adding syntax for types.With types, TypeScript makes it possible to check your code to avoid bugs ahead of time.The TypeScript type-checker does all this, and is also the foundation of great tooling in your editor and elsewhere, making coding even easier.If you've written JavaScript in editors like Visual Studio and VS Code, TypeScript even powers features you might already be using like completions, go-to-definition, and more.You can learn more about Type...

Announcing TypeScript 5.9 Beta
Today we are excited to announce the availability of TypeScript 5.9 Beta.To get started using the beta, you can get it through npm with the following command:Let's take a look at what's new in TypeScript 5.9! Minimal and Updated For a while, the TypeScript compiler has supported an flag that can create a within the current directory.In the last few years, running created a very "full" , filled with commented-out settings and their descriptions.We designed this with the intent of making options discoverable and easy to toggle.However, given external feedback (a...
Announcing TypeScript Native Previews
This past March we unveiled our efforts to port the TypeScript compiler and toolset to native code.This port has achieved a 10x speed-up on most projects - not just by using a natively-compiled language (Go), but also through using shared memory parallelism and concurrency where we can benefit.Since then, we have made several strides towards running on large complex real-world projects.Today, we are excited to announce broad availability of TypeScript Native Previews.As of today, you will be able to use npm to get a preview of the native TypeScript compiler.Additionally, you'll be able to use a previe...
A 10x Faster TypeScript
Today I'm excited to announce the next steps we're taking to radically improve TypeScript performance.The core value proposition of TypeScript is an excellent developer experience.As your codebase grows, so does the value of TypeScript itself, but in many cases TypeScript has not been able to scale up to the very largest codebases.Developers working in large projects can experience long load and check times, and have to choose between reasonable editor startup time or getting a complete view of their source code.We know developers love when they can rename variables with confidence, find all referen...
Announcing TypeScript 5.8
Today we're excited to announce the release of TypeScript 5.8!If you're not familiar with TypeScript, it's a language that builds on top of JavaScript by adding syntax for types.Writing types in our code allows us to explain intent and have other tools check our code to catch mistakes like typos, issues with and , and more.Types also power TypeScript's editor tooling like the auto-completion, code navigation, and refactorings that you might see in editors like Visual Studio and VS Code.In fact, TypeScript and its ecosystem powers the JavaScript experience in both of those editors as well!To get sta...

Announcing TypeScript 5.7
Today we excited to announce the availability of TypeScript 5.7!If you're not familiar with TypeScript, it's a language that builds on JavaScript by adding syntax for type declarations and annotations. This syntax can be used by the TypeScript compiler to type-check our code, and it can also be erased to emit clean, idiomatic JavaScript code. Type-checking is helpful because it can catch bugs in our code ahead of time, but adding types to our code also makes it more readable and allows tools like code editors to give us powerful features like auto-completion, refactorings, find-all-references, and more.
