This interview in Vanity Fair came out in 2010, and this exchange from it has lived rent-free in my head ever since.

A week on and it's still working well; it required a gopls change (go.dev/cl/795221, hope that's released soon!). With 5 day pruning like Go does itself, that 5 day window leaves me sitting at about 150GB of cache, which comes out to about 20GB on disk. Very good!

The TypeScript port to Go is complete. Now what? 🚀 Join @jakebailey.dev at #GopherCon for a look at what happened after the port, including new tooling, Wasm support, lessons learned, and how Go continues to shape the future of TypeScript. 🎟️ gophercon.com #RoadToGopherCon #golang

Did a bit of hacking this weekend and cooked up "gocachez", a GOCACHEPROG which transparently compresses the Go build cache to save disk space at rest at the cost of CPU, with fairly good results. Building and testing TS would normally eat up roughly 4GB, but with gocachez it's only about 400MB.

📣 TypeScript 7's Release Candidate is now out! 📣 The new native rewrite is almost here. Try it out on your codebases, and make sure your team is ready for the upcoming 7.0 release!

@jorropo.net burst my bubble; this could actually be observable by a very goofy case of a boxed nil interface call, something that the Go test suite did not test! But, it's still salvageable; just generate one wrapper instead of zero, which is just a simplification of my second CL. redone

WELCOME TO WASHINGTON, SOCCER FANS. Get acquainted with our state via this highly accurate and mostly-to-scale map.

This is a fun one: I just sent go.dev/cl/790740, which elides method wrappers for embedded types at offset zero, common for mixins/inherited data types. Doing this removes 60 _thousand_ method wrappers from tsgo's AST package, dropping the compilation of our main exe from 49s to 28s on my machine.

Still so angry at this Anyone have any note app suggestions

Google Keep hiding the archive button is utterly maddening, I simply do not understand, why do that

thank you YouTube for opening to a full page of shorts followed by "playables", both things I absolutely totally want and definitely have never clicked "show less" on multiple times before god forbid any product by any company actually respect my attention

it's not much but it feels cool to go to ichiran and speak to the staff in Japanese and not have them speak English back "it's not much" doing a lot of work because what i'm really saying is that I know simple phrases and numbers 🙂‍↕️

My talk was accepted to GopherCon 2026 in Seattle! I'm back with more TypeScript+Go goodness, this time with another year's worth of experience under our belt. I had a blast at last year's conference, so here's to yet another one! www.gophercon.com/agenda/speak...

Happy anniversary to my wonderful wife @savannah.dev ❤️ In addition to a magazine cover (??), we are now in space (!!)

TypeScript 7.0 Beta is here! Built on a new native and parallelized foundation, it's already being used on multi-million line codebases. Read up more here and try it on your projects today! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/a...

module mocking is evil. nobody can convince me otherwise

My PR to @tinygo.org to add full support for reflect.Type's AssignableTo and Implements methods just got merged! This now gets tinygo passing the tests for errors, go/token, net/url, and gets the json package working for a lot more cases (and probably similar cases elsewhere).

Next episode of e18e & friends, we will be talking to @jakebailey.dev ! Come join us on April 28th at 1PM EST / 7PM CET 🎉

An internal team just adopted tsgo (soon TypeScript 7) and told us they were able to shave off about 400 hours a month of waiting on CI builds. npmx.dev/package/@typ...

holy shit

I'm giving the keynote at TSKaigi 2026 in Tokyo this May! Not sure if this broke into Bluesky but, should be fun!

lotta clueless frustrating takes about attie god forbid someone make it easy to make a feed for like "show me posts about tsgo / TypeScript 7" or "show me posts about Go performance", two things i acutally want but do not have the skill to make nor the desire to host

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! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/a...

TypeScript 6.0 beta is now published! This release brings - inference improvements for functions - updates to package.json 'imports' - the Temporal APIs - alignments for the upcoming TypeScript 7.0 - & more! Try it today! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/a...

Some pretty awesome improvements in 1.26 for compiling/testing typescript-go. With a clean build/test cache, running the full test suite used to take 3m45s, but now takes just 2m10s.
