TypeScript 6 Lands With Faster Builds and a Native Compiler Preview

Speed, finally

Large TypeScript projects have long traded type safety for slow builds. The new release attacks that head-on, with a native compiler preview promising order-of-magnitude speedups on big codebases.

What's new

Beyond raw performance, the release sharpens inference and trims long-standing rough edges in the type system.

Worth upgrading?

For large teams, the build-time savings alone justify the migration. Smaller projects can take their time — but the future is clearly faster.
