Node.js v23.6.0 is Here: TypeScript Execution Made Easier! πŸŽ‰

The Node.js team has just rolled out version 23.6.0, and it comes with an exciting experimental feature bound to make TypeScript developers happy! πŸš€

What’s New?

With this release, the --experimental-strip-types flag is now enabled by default. This means you can now execute TypeScript files in Node.js without additional configuration! No more fiddling with external transpilers or build steps to get your TypeScript code up and running.

A Word of Caution ⚠️

While this is a huge step forward, the feature is still experimental. It has some limitations and may change in future updates. So, while it’s perfect for testing and small projects, you might want to tread carefully in production environments.

Why This Matters

This update simplifies the workflow for TypeScript developers, removing some friction associated with integrating TypeScript into Node.js projects. It’s another step towards making Node.js a more versatile and developer-friendly runtime.
