Node excitement 😉
Congrats to @marcoippolito.dev on today's landmark Node 22.18 release. It is the first LTS release to ship unflagged TypeScript support 🎉
This means Node can run *.ts files. It pairs well with TypeScript's "erasableSyntaxOnly" flag 👍
Many folk contributed 🙏

Type stripping is enabled by default 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You can just run `node file.ts` without `--experimental-strip-types` flag.
This is a huge milestone

Node.js 22.18.0 is out and enables type stripping by default – that’s right, Node.js LTS can now run TypeScript files. Shout out to @marcoippolito.dev for championing that effort! Download links and full changelog available at nodejs.org/en/blog/rele...

My absolute favorite use of this is to ensure that in a switch/case, all cases have been covered. This can be done using `value satisfies never` in the switch's default case (where `value` is being switched over). It will type error if you forgot to check a case!

One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Today, we’re deprecating Create React App for new apps, and encouraging existing apps to migrate to a framework.
We’re also providing docs for when a framework isn’t a good fit for your project, or you prefer to start by building a framework.
