Does anyone know why the publishing of the JavaScript Jabber podcasts has stopped? @DanShappir @JSJabber
PerryTS got a mention in this week's JavaScript Weekly: javascriptweekly.com/issues/…!
@realamlug
Nice work on NativeScript 9.1, @wwwalkerrun!
The release notes for 9.1 imply that, at some point, support for Windows will be added. True?
If so, I hope you only support the modern WinUI framework with its Fluent design.

TypeScript 7.0 RC is out 🎉
It's the 10x faster Go-based port 🔥
🔷 `tsc6` is for side-by-side comparison
🔷 --checkers sets checker thread count
🔷 --singleThreaded keeps parsing/emit/checking together
🔷 TS 6.0 deprecations are hard errors
🔷 API access is planned for TS 7.1
📣 TypeScript 7's Release Candidate is now out! 📣
The new native port is almost here. Try it out on your codebases, and make sure your team is ready for the upcoming 7.0 release!

All of us #nodeJS developers have been waiting for this a long time. Finally! Congratulations to @_richard_lau_ and the nodeJS contributers!
Node.js v26.0.0 is out 💚
Temporal API enabled by default, V8 14.6, Undici 8, and key deprecations as we keep modernizing the platform.
Check it out nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v…
Outstanding, @RyanCarniato! This is exactly what we want.

TypeScript 6.0 is now available!
This release brings better type-checking for methods, new standard library features, new module features for Node.js, and more!
But most important, this release brings us one step closer to the upcoming native-speed 7.0!

Would you like enums to be part of the JavaScript language so we can remove one of the last remaining TypeScript features which is not erasable syntax?
62%Yes
38%No
8 votes • Final resultsSurely the TC39 proposal for adding enums to JavaScript should have reached Stage 1 by now. Stage 1 means problem space accepted. Enums are used in millions of lines of TypeScript code. What gives? Why is it largely being ignored?

By many metrics the new Temporal date-time API is the single biggest change to JS ever 🔥
Temporal is now shipping in Firefox, Chrome, & soon in Safari. TS 6.0 contains type declaration support. It's in Deno, close to landing in Node, & supported by the Boa & Kiesel engines.

We've got some updates on TypeScript 7! The new native port
- can type-check any project
- supports --build and --incremental
- has rich editor features implemented
- is still 10x faster
and is ready for you to try today!

In case you're curious, here is the open source, platform neutral implementation of the JavaScript Temporal API that will be used in Chromium and other JS engines: crates.io/crates/temporal_rs
JavaScript Temporal API is finally coming to Chrome in version 144. Apple's JavaScriptCore is the laggard.

Hallelujah!
In Safari 26 on macOS Tahoe, you can now finally inspect the service worker of a remotely connected iOS device 🎉🎉🎉
Wow! Chromium V8 support for the TC39 proposal #Temporal is getting closer. Today, it showed up on test262 for the first time: test262.fyi/#|v8_exp,jsc_exp…
