oh no, all this force pushing put me on the AgentScan list

Strongly type file paths by jakebailey · Pull Request #64159 · microsoft/TypeScript

I'm declaring TypeScript 7 for Ember: ready At work, on the 3 million line monolithic package, I'm seeing ~ 4m40s -> 12s a ✨ 23x ✨ speed boost

This is now merged!!! 🎉

This is a fun one: I just sent go.dev/cl/790740, which elides method wrappers for embedded types at offset zero, common for mixins/inherited data types. Doing this removes 60 _thousand_ method wrappers from tsgo's AST package, dropping the compilation of our main exe from 49s to 28s on my machine.

I've bumped all of the @typescriptlang.org compiler usage in @puzzmo.com to now use TS7 and the new compiler API. All looks very reasonable and has every feature I needed for codegen and AST introspection Literally no notes :+1:

If you’re not stalking TypeScript PRs, you might be surprised how much you can do with the API in nightlies (and even in 7.0 stable), so here’s a tiny demo that I think hits some of the highlights. 🧵

with the way GitHub issues are going these days, I think I now understand what it was like when Google Duplex came out and businesses were talking to bots on the phone

it's so great knowing that so many resources out there are being spent on *checks notes* protecting me from yaml files that are a little too complicated

TypeScript, now downloaded... 1G a month?

self merged my own Go CL for the first time today 😎

i love when discourse happens, as it provides me with whole new classes of bad-takes-havers to mute

Have you been using TypeScript 7? @ahejlsberg.bsky.social shows off what 10x faster build & editing experiences look like with @vscode.dev!

TypeScript 7 Is Here (And It's 10× Faster)

the worst part about talks is writing talks the best part about writing talks is finding all the oopsies in the code being talked about and thus, I now have PRs to make the TS AST 2% smaller, the parser 10% faster, the binder 1.5% faster

TypeScript 7.0 is incredible. I didn't even know type checking/generation took that much time in my build. Now it's 3-4x faster. Highly recommend updating.

switched to typescript 7 for coding on @val.town. extremely good.

Am I sick or procrastinating? You decide Anyway I made the Go compiler twice as fast at compiling the TS checker package go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/803462

excuse me but how hasn't anyone recommended Tor's Cabinet to me sooner, were you all holding out on me

Soo I hit the button to release TS 7 then swiftly went out of office for vacation 😅 How's it going for everyone? Hopefully speedy speedy good

My favorite thing about the most recent frontier models is how I'm not allowed to investigate compiler crashes anymore 🫠

lived my dream and saw les mis in the front row in the west end, truly incredible experience and @savannah.dev liked it, which is a win i've now seen it three times, which I'm declaring to be normal
