We just released the beta for TypeScript 5.8! This release brings support for Node.js' require(ESM), smarter/safer checks for functions using advanced types, a few great optimizations for editor scenarios, and more. Give it a try! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/ann…
@typescript @satanacchio erasableSyntaxOnly is a huge win for Node today and future JS language compatibility 🎉 This is an excellent example of language stewardship.
@typescript 🔥erasableSyntaxOnly- so good for the ecosystem 🔥checked conditionals- love that we can avoid casting for trivial cases So how long before @arktypeio's parser can be inferred without explicit types? 🚎
@typescript Where is 5.8? Wasn’t it scheduled for release yesterday?
@typescript Feel free to mention [type-annotationify](github.com/nicojs/type-an…) with regards to erasableSyntaxOnly the next blog article @drosenwasser 😇
@typescript Nice. The commonjs / esm decale still killing developer productivity. Hopefully the new node support will improve this.
