"TypeScript 7.0" beta released; TypeScript compiler and more ported to Go, making compilation 10x faster

Microsoft has released TypeScript 7.0 Beta, the first version of TypeScript whose compiler and tooling have been rewritten in Go.

The new native, parallelized implementation is designed to scale better on very large codebases and improve editor responsiveness.

Microsoft says the Go-based rewrite can compile code about 10x faster than previous versions.
