TypeScript 7.0 is now officially available as a stable release, and this is one worth paying attention to.

Not because it introduces a flashy new syntax feature or another configuration option, but because it improves something developers feel every day: waiting.

The TypeScript compiler has been rewritten in Go. The goal is clear: take advantage of native code, multithreading, and better parallelization to make builds, type checking, and the editor experience much faster.

Microsoft says TypeScript 7 is usually between 8x and 12x faster on large projects. In some cases, with more parallelization, the results go even higher.

The Numbers Are Pretty Clear
