    A preview VS Code extension is available on the VS Code marketplace.

    This is still a work in progress and is not yet at full feature parity with TypeScript. Bugs may exist. Please check this list carefully before logging a new issue or assuming an intentional change.

    Long-term, we expect that this repo and its contents will be merged into microsoft/TypeScript. As a result, the repo and issue tracker for typescript-go will eventually be closed, so treat discussions/issues accordingly.

    For a list of intentional changes with respect to TypeScript 5.7, see CHANGES.md.
