TypeScript 6.0 is out, but the bigger story is that it’s the last major release built on the current JavaScript-based compiler.
This one is really a bridge release. It adds migration-focused changes like the new --stableTypeOrdering flag and tees everything up for TypeScript 7.0, which will move the compiler and language service to a native Go implementation. And according to Microsoft, 7.0 is a lot closer than some people might think.
If you work with TypeScript every day, this is one of those releases that matters less for flashy features and more for where the platform is headed next.
