What if TypeScript had an `unsafe` keyword and `as`, ‘any`, and `!` were only available inside of blocks declared as `unsafe`?
Philippe Serhal@philippeserhal.com · 2w agoTypeScript RFC: `as` → `unsafe_as` `any` → `unsafe_any` `!` → `!!!` and a tsconfig strict flag to disallow each (I know linters support this already!)

Marco Ippolito@marcoippolito.dev · last yr.Node.js will no longer ship corepack starting from v25. This might make a lot of people sad, but it was a problem in terms of project maintainance. 🧵 github.com/nodejs/TSC/p...
