Microsoft goes nuclear on TypeScript codebase…

Let's take a first look at the new TypeScript 7 compiler, which is being completely rewritten in Google's Go language and achieves 10x faster compile times.

having my TS code fail faster is a huge improvement

[BackTiVi]

I see a future where tech companies will hire Fireship to do their announcement directly

[pu]

i absolutely loved their announcement video, completely technical, made by a technical person without any marketing "approval".

[mashti]

2:34 probably the best and easy to understand explanation of pointers I have ever seen. Bravo.

[Sohailkhan]

Sponsoring Fireship's videos at this point is like running an ad at the Super Bowl.

[JordyDevrixOfficial]

New fireship video!!! And its not AI 🤯

[seranoxa]

The fact that you put the sponsor in the end, actually made me watch it all, just to support you !

[hlexnc]

The "I will just wait for the Fireship video" mentality is so real. At this point, I don’t even bother with tech announcements—I just wait for Fireship to serve up a summarized, no-BS version on a silver platter. Haha, too accurate. 😂

[ronaldocuchilla]

10 days without Fireship. At this point, even Internet Explorer would’ve noticed the delay.

[michaelwesolek]

Actually one of the top comments on microsofts video is "Can't wait for the firesihp video"

[sayemsaadkhan]

Plz post more videos brother its hard to breath without them

[Willyan_Antunes]

It is not a news if there isn't a Fireship video about it

[MaximBordyug.]

Anders Hejlsberg (creator of Typescript, C# and much more) using Go from Ken Thompson (creator of C lang, Unix, Go and much more) is nothing less than legendary. Two giants

[Keo]

C# can actually be compiled to native executables with Native AOT, but yeah, their reasoning was for portability.

[towbat]

1:02 Now I'm gonna post "Let me wait for the fireship video" under these tech announcements even harder

[saeedbarari]

correction: C# does not need to run on a VM. a few years ago dotnet added an option to compile to machine code directly, called NativeAOT and it's used very widely today.

[SarmadKhalique]

"All your errors will happen but 10x faster" LOL! 😂

[MaariyahLe]

C# can be compiled to native executables using Native AOT, but their reasoning was primarily portability.

If you listen closely, you can hear Steve Ballmer screaming "First they took my Windows Phone, now THIS?!"

[trueberryless]

I didn't quit my job after watching a Fireship video 🎉
