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.




ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to Ron Buckton on advancing the Enum proposal to Stage 1 at TC39 today 🎉 This aims to bring the good parts of TypeScript enums to JavaScript plus enhancements such as new datatypes & potentially runtime performance improvements 👍

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.



ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to Ron Buckton on conditionally advancing Explicit Resource Management to Stage 4 at TC39 today 🎉 It introduces `using` declarations and the Symbol.dispose protocol to deterministically and ergonomically release resources 👍
