Big milestone: the compiler has been ported from TypeScript/JavaScript to Go, delivering ~10x faster build times compared to v6.0.
🔑 Highlights
Native code speed + shared-memory parallelism
New flags: --checkers & --builders for fine-tuned parallel builds
Rebuilt --watch mode (Go port of Parcel’s watcher)
New defaults: strict: true, module: esnext
Deprecated flags → now hard errors
Compatibility package: @typescript/typescript6 for side-by-side installs
VS Code TypeScript Native Preview extension brings performance gains to the editor (auto-imports, inlay hints, semantic highlighting, etc.)
💡 A stable release is planned within the next month, with a programmatic API coming in TypeScript 7.1.
👉 This is a huge step forward for developer productivity and DX.
