> TypeScript 5.8 is out bringing with it the --erasableSyntaxOnly flag TypeScript sure loves the "our only documentation lives in the changelog" approach to stuff, huh? - The on-site Algolia search returns 0 results for "erasableSyntaxOnly" - The blocked-from-search release notes[0] looks like actual documentation - but urges to check out the PR[1] "for more information," despite the PR description being essentially blank. - The CLI options page[2] describes it thus: "Do not allow runtime constructs that are not part of ECMAScript," with no links to learn more about what that means. Edit: actually, I take it back! Clicking the flag on the CLI page takes one to an intimidating junk drawer page... but my issues with discoverability stand: https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#erasableSyntaxOnly https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#erasableSyntaxOnly [0] https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-5-8.html#the---erasablesyntaxonly-option https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/t...
