Kind: release · Impact: medium

## In 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.

## Versions

- TypeScript 7.0

## Timeline

- 2026-11-11: ngp compiler preprocessor enters beta, per InfoQ report
