Exciting times for TypeScript development!

We're looking forward to using 10x faster type retrieval APIs for typed linting. The feature will not be trivial to write, but would be absolutely worth the work. github.com/typescript-e...

This is going to improve so, so many things about the web development experience.

Faster editor startup. Smoother autocomplete & refactors. And, once linters are able to support it, *much* faster typed linting. Likely >=9x faster to be precise.

⚡️!

I got my first blog post published on the ESLint blog! 🙌

It's a good one IMO - "what's the difference between ESLint and TypeScript" comes up often when folks enter web dev. I'm relieved to finally have a single great post that answers the question the way I'd want to.

The Temporal docs are now live on MDN! After watching it evolve for ~5 years I finally sat down and wrote docs for it—one of the biggest additions to the JS docs area ever.

Avoiding `any`s with Linting and TypeScript | typescript-eslint How typescript-eslint expands on TypeScript's type safety to catch explicit and implicit `any`s.

📝 New article: Avoiding `any`s with Linting and TypeScript

TypeScript's `any` type is an unsafe escape hatch. We explore how to use linting and other tools prevent it from being sneakily introduced in code. 🧼

GitHub - JoshuaKGoldberg/formatly: Formats your code with whatever formatter your project is already using. 🧼 Formats your code with whatever formatter your project is already using. 🧼 - JoshuaKGoldberg/formatly

I made a fun little project this past week: formatly 🧼. It detects whatever formatter -biome, deno fmt, dprint, or Prettier- a project is using and formats files with it.

Hoping to grow this to be used in any project that writes source code for users.
