React is kinda at a point where it’s competing with itself. You can build a good app using React patterns from 2016 without fiber. Or you can build a great app using patterns from 2025. Most who are not using a framework are still doing 2016.

Found a TS file that spends 30_000ms in the checker 🤪
Wonder what the ts-go checker would take 🤔 will give it a try!

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...
Node.js — Node.js v22.18.0 (LTS)
Node.js® is a free, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that lets developers create servers, web apps, command line tools and scripts.

oxlint + tsgolint = no slow down!
no-floating-promises completes 4.4k files in 3.2 seconds, in the vscode repo.
typescript-go is the future, all credits to the ts-go team! We just glued everything together 😀

Any github folks know if there's a way to do diff highlighting AND syntax highlighting in codeblock?
```diff, js
console.log('this should highlight js');
// and below, as diff
+ await mkdtemp(join(realpath(tmpdir()), 'foo-'));
- await mkdtemp(join(tmpdir(), 'foo-'));
```

Syntax Highlighted Diffs
Unified and split diffs now feature syntax highlighting, which adds colors to your code to make its meaning and structure clearer. Now you can more easily understand the code that…

Not many people realise this but one of the reasons tram networks were torn up across the globe in the mid 20th century was the soaring costs of paying philosophers to staff the point switches.

First attempts for ts-go look really promising on @tanstack.com router, which is really heavy on types:
TS 5.8:
Total time: 3.34s
Memory used: 393215K
TS-GO:
Total time: 0.770s
Memory used: 381023K
This is from our large example with 400 routes. 4.3x faster, less memory used 🤯

For folks who are bothered that the new @typescriptlang.org is in Go, and if it helps: yes, they did talk to me about it, yes we talked over various concerns and requirements, and yes, going with Go was a reasonable and good idea. :)

This is so exciting!!!
Yes, it's not rust 😄 but perhaps a well written port will create opportunities for that in future, rather than the current 70k js file 😂
That aside, I'm excited to try this with our thousands of packages and see where it lands!

Today we're thrilled to announce our effort to port the TypeScript compiler and language service to native code, gaining a 10x speed boost in build times and editor responsiveness!

Question for the devs out there - how does your company handle internal support (e.g queries about the codebase, libraries, pipelines, deployments, anything failing or flaky, dev tools, etc)?
I want to learn more, but really struggled to find relevant info or studies :)
