I've been busy experimenting with the new emit APIs that TypeScript 7.1 will bring. ts-loader now has basic support in place - here's how we got there! johnnyreilly.com/migrating-ts...

Migrating ts-loader to TypeScript 7.1 with AI

How I used AI to migrate ts-loader to TypeScript 7.1.

ts-ast-viewer.com now supports TypeScript 7 along with nightly builds of the typescript-go repository. It's not selected by default, but available in the dropdown.

If you discount project references (and there's no API support as yet I believe), then all bar around 6 tests of ts-loader are now passing using the 7.1 tsgo TypeScript API! Not quite there yet but significant progress github.com/TypeStrong/t...

Building upon the fine work of @pier.fumagalli.org / @titiancernicova.bsky.social / @andrewbran.ch I've been throwing copilot at the new TypeScript 7.1 API and ts-loader. Very early days but some progress! github.com/TypeStrong/t...

I've been experimenting with having `ts-blank-space` use the (unstable) TypeScript-go JS API. At first it was ~60% slower than using the TS 6 API, but with a bit of investigation, a bug fix, and a small refactor to use different API calls it is now ~24% faster! Draft PR: github.com/bloomberg/ts...
