Node.js just got spicier. You can now run TypeScript files out of the box—no transpile step, no weird configs. It’s experimental, and only supports a trimmed-down syntax, but still: big move.
Elsewhere, it’s tackling burst fs events with AsyncIterator support, tightening up CJS/ESM cycle resolution, and cleaning up file system quirks.
Big picture: Native TS and better CJS/ESM harmony point to a world where Node feels more like a platform, less like a patchwork.
