Trying to collect some data: what package that you know/maintain have transitioned to shipping ESM-only/ESM-first after it's unblocked by the support of require(esm)? Any tips/experiences to share?

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to champion JS Choi on conditionally advancing TC39 proposal Array.fromAsync to Stage 4 at TC39 today 🎉 It's like Array.from & works with async iterators. It's like the npm pkg it-all. It eliminates needing an adhoc for-await-of loop 👍 github.com/tc39/proposa...

I just realized that yesterday I told someone that if tsgo took a minute on a codebase and is around 10x faster, you could extrapolate that tsc must have taken around an hour or so. And somehow that brain fart is going to haunt me for at least the next month.

Happy to say that I'll be speaking at @gophercon.com 2025 about TypeScript's port to Go! There's a lot of interesting stuff to talk about, from the effort's inception, the actual process of porting, and all of the Go stuff we learned along the way (gotchas, perf). www.gophercon.com/agenda/sessi...

Lil’ TypeScript tip: Instead of using `@ts-ignore` for stuff you don’t feel like fixing rn, use `@ts-expect-error`. When you do fix the issue, `@ts-expect-error` will itself become an error (which you can fix by deleting the comment). That way, you avoid stale ignores that aren’t needed anymore.

I'm optimistic that the next 12 months is going to a very special time for JS performance ⚡ (This applies to developer workflows & end-users.) Several large-scale independent multi-year language, runtime, tooling, & library investments are approaching the payback stage all around the same time.

Finally reviving my blog! Wrote a few thousand words about one of the most notorious bugs we encountered when porting tsc to Go: accidental variable shadowing. It's a pleasure to write go/analysis passes, and I was really happy with the results of my shadow analyzer. Please enjoy the CFG diagrams!

I guess I missed some excitement earlier this week but here is my better late than never take: writing programs in Go is fine, actually; whereas it's fairly uncool to hassle someone about their decision to do so.

1/ 2025 has already been a good year for #TypeScript: • Type stripping increases the conceptual clarity of what TS is, has made emitting .js faster, works well without source maps (via blank spaces) and doesn’t require a tsconfig.json. 2ality.com/2025/01/node...

This is tremendous for TypeScript and JavaScript developers everywhere. We're building a new TypeScript that runs lighter, goes faster, and scales well on enormous codebases. This was a big decision and a lot of work, but we are seeing promising results for this new foundation!
