[!NOTE]

Summary: TypeScript 7.0 shipped with a brand-new native compiler core (tsgo). However, if you try upgrading your Angular 22, Vue, Svelte, or ESLint project to TypeScript 7.0 today, your build will fail with ERESOLVE peer dependency locks. In this article, we explore the deep technical reasons why frontend frameworks can't use TS 7.0 yet, what an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) compiler plugin is, and why TypeScript 7.1 is the release everyone is waiting for.

The Hype Around TypeScript 7.0

When Microsoft released TypeScript 7.0, the web development community was buzzing. Featuring a brand-new native compiler engine (often called tsgo), TS 7.0 promises 8x–12x faster compilation speeds.

Naturally, developers running npm install typescript@latest in their Angular 22, Vue, or React projects expect an instant speed boost.
