Node.js Just Got a BIG Boost with Native TypeScript Support

TypeScript running natively in Node.js? Yes, this is a piece of a dream many people had, and it's now a reality!

Having TypeScript support is the most requested feature by the community, and this request has finally been fulfilled.

In this video, I will show you how this support works in version 23 of Node.js, which has just been released.

Having TypeScript running natively in Node.js is so incredible that I brought the TypeScript initiative leader from the Node.js project to this video to explain why this has finally happened, what we can expect from it shortly, and the project's behind-the-scenes

For this video, I’ve created a relatively complex project to show you that it’s really working, using one of the most powerful features of TypeScript to date.

So, go ahead and drop a like on this video, let me know in the comments what you’d like to learn here on the channel, and let’s dive into the video!
