Let’s take a look at what’s in store for TypeScript 4.2!

• Smarter Type Alias Preservation
• Leading/Middle Rest Elements in Tuple Types
• Stricter Checks For The in Operator
• --noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature
• abstract Construct Signatures
• The --explainFiles Flag
• Improved Uncalled Function Checks in Logical Expressions
• Destructured Variables Can Be Explicitly Marked as Unused
• Relaxed Rules Between Optional Properties and String Index Signatures
• Declare Missing Helper Function
• Breaking Changes

Read-Only Array and Tuple Types in TypeScript 

.NET 4.7.2 is for streaming data into memory between 2% (Unsafe Parse x86), 7% (Unsafe Parse x64) and 40% (Span Parse x64) slower than .NET Core. Especially the 40% speed drop for Span based Apis due to the lack of JIT support by the .NET Runtime is unfortunate.
