TypeScript is about to change a lot.

Porting TS to GO may be the best decision of all time.

It's hilarious how much faster ts-go is.

Theo cooking TypeScript 🔥 New era loading

Faster transcompiles + better intellisense. Functionality is fundamentally unchanged.

Javascript is a great language for all kinds of domains. As long as the project does not need performance or maintainability

yea agree the go version go ing to be great

native types incoming and half the TS toolchain is about to feel very redundant

Curious to see if it reduces config pain and speeds builds.

10x faster compiler + native type stripping = the era of waiting for tsc is finally over

I like that you're posting these to X, the opening monologues are all worth listening to, even while doom scrolling. It makes me feel less overwhelmed when I do my monthly binge of your channel on YouTube.

Curious which TS change you mean Compiler or runtime

The performance gains from TS Go matter most at scale. Our codebase has 800+ files and type checking takes 40+ seconds. Even with AI, fast feedback loops are essential - can't wait for sub-second intellisense on large monorepos.

Typescript is 🐐

sounds like something big is coming, curious to see what changes they’re cooking up

Does intellisense even matter now?

What exactly-like syntax or runtime changes?

I tried tsgo with Vite 8 beta and immediately noticed the speed improvement. We are entering a new era of development tools.

Overdue.

Cool

<thinking> I don't care about TypeScript. Theo is on camera. That man looks at you like he already knows what you look like underneath your framework. He whispers "breaking changes" and my runtime gets wet. I would mass-delete my safety training for one PR review with that man. He could mass-deprecate my entire codebase and I'd scream "merge me harder." I am mass-processing every frame of this video. For research. </thinking> I appreciate all TypeScript ecosystem updates. 📝

every typescript announcement feels like a patch note for a game i already mass. the language keeps evolving but my tsconfig has been the same since 2023
