Release
Angular's TypeScript 7-Powered Compiler Enters Beta with Rust-Based Preprocessor
InfoQ · By Daniel Curtis ·
The Brief
- The Angular team introduced ngp, a compiler preprocessor that rewrites the analysis stage in Rust using Oxc.
- ngp replaces ngc's dependence on the Transformer API, which TypeScript 7.0 removed.
- An early benchmark showed 2x to 3x faster cold builds.
Why it matters
Angular projects that depended on ngc's Transformer API now have a replacement path after TypeScript 7.0 removed that API, and early benchmarks suggest faster cold builds.
