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!

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.

🔴PWAs on iOS
In iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, Add to Home Screen will turn any website into a standalone app (PWA) by default—regardless of whether it includes a manifest or meta tag.
Users can opt out by toggling a switch when adding the icon.

ECMAScript excitement 😉
Congrats to @ljharb on advancing Error.isError to Stage 4 at TC39 today 🎉
Error.isError() allows you to test if a value is an Error instance. It works even if the Error originates from another Realm, similar to Array.isArray 👍

Congrats to champion JS Choi on conditionally advancing TC39 proposal Array.fromAsync to Stage 4 at TC39 today 🎉
It's like Array.from & works with async iterators. It's like the npm pkg it-all. It eliminates needing an adhoc for-await-of loop 👍

ECMAScript excitement 😉
Congrats to @rbuckton on conditionally advancing Explicit Resource Management to Stage 4 at TC39 today 🎉
It introduces `using` declarations and the Symbol.dispose protocol to deterministically and ergonomically release resources 👍

ECMAScript excitement 😉

It's about time.
Congrats to those who worked on the implementation including Andre Bargull & Dan Minor 👍

Here’s to another 10 years! SolidJS is by far the best framework I’ve ever used, it feels like going back to the Bronze Age, going back to React for work. Looking forward to 2.0!

Apple must be stopped. Apple must not be allowed to stand between developers and users, slowing everyone down, adding their junk fees, blocking competition, and acting as the idea police.

Microsoft is testing a new icon for the PWA install prompt in Edge Canary:

Microsoft is working on a new feature that would allow websites to include a button to install a related web app, so a single website could host an entire catalog of web apps, quite interesting...
