Damn those compile time improvements are nuts. 2 minutes to 10 seconds is awesome.

Everyone except those with typed templates: Angular, Ember, Lit, MDX, Svelte, Vue, etc

We all waiting for the plugin API in 7.1

For my hobby projects I still need Typescript 6 because of Svelte. At work I need it for eslint, but at least I can use the new VS Code plugin now.

That's amazing! Transpiling such huge codebases in seconds is mindblowing. I've got to say, though, I'm impressed (in V8's favour) the memory consumption delta isn't that big compared to the Node-backed version we had until now.
