TypeScript 7 also brings parallelism with new 🧪 experimental 🧪 flags to tweak it. `--checkers` controls the number of type-checking workers, while `--builders` controls concurrent project builds. Use more on powerful machines, or scale down to fewer to control memory usage. 12.9K views · 51 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
We know people will still need TS 6 for API usage. That's why there's a new `@typescript/typescript6` package that provides - the TypeScript 6 API - a separate `tsc6` binary Install it side-by-side with TypeScript 7, and don't worry about conflicts with `tsc`. 21.4K views · 86 likes · 10 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →
Under both `--watch` and in the editor, TypeScript 7 also now periodically releases unused type-checking state after enough idle time. For bigger projects, this should help reduce memory usage after peaking. 13.6K views · 52 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
TypeScript 7 also ships a new `--watch` mode based on a Go port of Parcel's watcher. This brings more efficient and reliable file watching to TypeScript users across platforms. If you tried earlier versions of TS7, you can expect way less CPU usage on idle with `--watch`. 14.8K views · 73 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
With TS 7, you'll still have broad editor support. IDEs like Visual Studio and Webstorm will easily support TypeScript 7. For VS Code, we have an extension you can install today! https://t.co/yYhLUbvZq2 18.6K views · 87 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
With this new version, TypeScript officially supports the language server protocol (LSP). So just pick your favorite editor and enjoy the speed improvements! 15.8K views · 99 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
TypeScript 7 has all the editor features you love, like auto-imports, find-all-references, expandable hovers, inlay hints, code lenses, linked editing, semantic highlighting, import sorting, and more. They're just a lot faster now. 20.3K views · 98 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
The new codebase has been battle-tested by many teams (and entire companies) using it in production for over a year now. In fact, in the editor TypeScript 7 is *more* stable than TypeScript 6, with fewer crashes and lower memory usage. 22.1K views · 124 likes · 2 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →
The 10x is real for many projects, and the speed improvements make a huge difference for teams at scale. TypeScript 7 drops time in CI, and minimizes delays in editors like VS & VS Code. That makes every part of the developer inner loop feel snappy. https://t.co/lE1fMFauSl 30.8K views · 208 likes · 7 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →
It's simple to get started npm install -D typescript@7 Then run `npx tsc` as usual for a new native experience. 32.3K views · 170 likes · 2 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →
In case you missed it, TypeScript 7 is a complete 10x faster version of the compiler & language server. It's a full port to parallelized native code. It runs faster, uses less memory, and is more stable than ever before. https://t.co/VI2wX6AH6a 149.8K views · 367 likes · 14 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

📣 TypeScript 7's Release Candidate is now out! 📣 The new native port is almost here. Try it out on your codebases, and make sure your team is ready for the upcoming 7.0 release! https://t.co/WBCvxYHoJX 339K views · 2.1K likes · 378 reposts · 31 replies Open on X →
Something subtle from some recent VS @code release notes: VS Code core, and all its built-in extensions, are now type-checked with TypeScript 7 native previews! https://t.co/mStYieSP6b https://t.co/Hamqm4Bjfh
From the VS Code 1.119 blog post:

Typechecking now uses TypeScript 7 for faster development iteration

Last iteration we moved VS Code's main watch task to use TypeScript 7. This iteration, we finished the migration to use TypeScript 7 for all built-in extensions and core code.

By migrating the Copilot extension to use TypeScript 7, we cut the typechecking time from 22 seconds to 4 seconds. These dramatic speedups enable both developers and agents to iterate more quickly in the VS Code codebase.
