# Description of Changes We can't convert to TS7 completely yet because it lacks the TS API, so ESLint and some of our scripts don't work, but we can do [what the TS team suggest and run TS6 and TS7 side-by-side](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/progress-on-typescript-7-december-2025/#compiler). When we do that, we take the `task frontend:typecheck:all` job from ~76s to ~13s, and everything else continues to work as it did before. I've set it so that CI will still use TS6 for the time being and locally we use TS7 out of an abundance of caution because CI time doesn't really matter but local time does. I do think it was a bit pointless doing that since the TS team claim the type checking performs identically, but we might as well have it like that for now. If it happens to go badly locally for any devs, they can use `CI=true task frontend:typecheck` to revert to use TS6 trivially.
