TypeScript is undergoing a significant transformation by porting its compiler to Go for TypeScript 7. This shift aims to drastically improve performance in areas like build times and development experience in VS Code. While the TypeScript language and its syntax will remain unchanged, the type checker, compiler, and language services are expected to become significantly faster. However, this move raises concerns about reduced direct feedback from the TypeScript team using the language and potential changes in tooling that relies on internal TypeScript APIs.
