Node is about to become irrelevant. As soon as Microsoft ships TypeScript 7.
- rockwotj 1y agoCan you elaborate? Are you conflating node and javascript?
- cakoose 1y agoWhy will TypeScript 7 make Node.js irrelevant? In TypeScript 7, the compiler will be written in Go instead of TS. But the compiler will still produce JS code as its output and so Node.js is still relevant for running that JS code. Or is there something else about TypeScript 7 that will make Node.js irrelevant?
- flkenosad 1y agoThe output would probably not be node, it would target the browser. TypeScript is the only real Node project worth a damn in open source.
- cluckindan 1y agoHow does a 10x faster TS to JS compiler make a JS runtime irrelevant?
- roman_soldier 1y agoTypescript 7 is not a replacement for node, it is a language spec and compiler, but Bun _could_ be the preferred choice for dev using a Javascript runtime.
