Microsoft shipped TypeScript 7.0 as generally available on July 8, 2026, moving the compiler and language service to a native Go port that Microsoft says is typically 8x to 12x faster on full builds.

The Go team published a formal REST API for pkg.go.dev on May 21, giving tool authors and IDE integrations a stable, versioned interface to module metadata, documentation, symbols, and vulnerability data.

R hit #8 in the TIOBE Index — matching its all-time high — as Python and R emerge as the two survivors in a rapidly consolidating statistical language market, while Go fell to #16 and Zig crept toward the top 30.

Microsoft ships TypeScript 7.0 Beta featuring a native Go port of the compiler and language service, delivering often 10x faster builds, reduced memory use, and parallelized type-checking for large codebases.

Go 1.26 ships with the Green Tea garbage collector enabled by default, replacing the object-centric mark-sweep algorithm with a page-level scanner that reduces GC CPU costs by 10 to 40 percent in real-world workloads.

Microsoft released TypeScript 6.0 on March 23, the last version of the compiler written in JavaScript. The release introduces strict-by-default settings and deprecates legacy features ahead of TypeScript 7.0, a full Go rewrite that has shown up to 10x faster compilation in benchmarks.

Microsoft has released TypeScript 6.0, the final major version built on the original JavaScript compiler codebase. The release introduces sweeping default changes, deprecates legacy module formats, and adds a migration flag to prepare codebases for TypeScript 7.0, which will be built entirely in Go.

Microsoft ships the final JavaScript-based TypeScript release, overhauling defaults and deprecating legacy options ahead of a Go-powered compiler rewrite in version 7.0.

The Go team has accepted a proposal from co-designer Robert Griesemer to add type parameters to concrete methods, reversing a longstanding FAQ position and closing one of the language's most persistent feature gaps since generics arrived in Go 1.18.

TypeScript 6.0 beta is the last version built on JavaScript. The Go-based TypeScript 7.0 promises 10x faster builds.

Go 1.26 RC3 shipped February 4 with the Green Tea GC as default, an experimental SIMD package, post-quantum TLS, and enhanced generics.
