your TypeScript just got 10 times faster. We sat down with Anders Hejlsberg to ask questions library authors, power users, tooling makers, and compiler contributors might have.

After 18 years at Microsoft, with roughly a decade of that time working on TypeScript, I have unfortunately been let go in the latest round of layoffs. I need to take a few days to process before I start looking for work. Thanks to everyone who's been part of my journey so far.

LinkedIn locked my account for some reason and it's going to take several days to sort out. If you're trying to reach me there, you may want to try on here or on bluesky instead.
