A preview build is available on npm as@typescript/native-preview.

npm install @typescript/native-previewnpx tsgo# Use this as you would tsc.

A preview VS Code extension isavailable on the VS Code marketplace.

To use this, set this in your VS Code settings:

{"typescript.experimental.useTsgo":true}

This repo usesGo 1.24 or higher,Rust 1.85 or higher,Node.js with npm, andhereby.

For tests and code generation, this repo contains a git submodule to the main TypeScript repo pointing to the commit being ported.When cloning, you'll want to clone with submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/microsoft/typescript-go.git

If you have already cloned the repo, you can initialize the submodule with:

git submodule update --init --recursive

With the submodule in place andnpm ci, you can run tasks viahereby, similar to the TypeScript repo:

hereby build# Verify that the project buildsherebytest# Run all testshereby install-tools# Install additional tools such as lintershereby lint# Run all lintershereby format# Format all codehereby generate# Generate all Go code (e.g. diagnostics, committed to repo)

Additional tasks are a work in progress.

hereby is not required to work on the repo; the regulargo tooling (e.g.,go build,go test ./...) will work as expected.hereby tasks are provided as a convenience for those familiar with the TypeScript repo.

After runninghereby build, you can runbuilt/local/tsgo, which behaves mostly the same astsc.

To debug and run the VS Code extension without installing it globally:

• Run VS Code in the repo workspace (code .)
• Copy.vscode/launch.template.json to.vscode/launch.json
• F5 (orDebug: Start Debugging from the command palette)

This will launch a new VS Code instance which uses the Corsa LS as the backend. If correctly set up, you should see "tsgo" in the status bar when a TypeScript or JavaScript file is open:

This is still a work in progress and is not yet at full feature parity with TypeScript. Bugs may exist. Please check this list carefully before logging a new issue or assuming an intentional change.

Definitions:

• done aka "believed done": We're not currently aware of any deficits or major left work to do. OK to log bugs
• in progress: currently being worked on; some features may work and some might not. OK to log panics, but nothing else please
• prototype: proof-of-concept only; do not log bugs
• not ready: either haven't even started yet, or far enough from ready that you shouldn't bother messing with it yet

Long-term, we expect that this repo and its contents will be merged intomicrosoft/TypeScript.As a result, the repo and issue tracker for typescript-go will eventually be closed, so treat discussions/issues accordingly.

For a list of intentional changes with respect to TypeScript 5.7, see CHANGES.md.
