2025-01-07, Version 23.6.0 (Current), @marco-ippolito — Node.js

Notable Changes

Unflagging –experimental-strip-types

This release enables the flag --experimental-strip-types by default. Node.js will be able to execute TypeScript files without additional configuration:

node file.ts

There are some limitations in the supported syntax documented at https://nodejs.org/api/typescript.html#type-stripping This feature is experimental and is subject to change.
