Welcome back to another episode of The Download! This week, we cover TypeScript 7 shipping a new native Go compiler that delivers massive 8x to 12x speedups for large codebases. We also explore VS Code 1.129's dedicated agent host runtime, Kimi K3's 2.8 trillion parameter model, and the open sourcing of Microsoft's classic 1996 Comic Chat IRC client. Plus, inspect what Cargo actually downloads on crates.io, bring classic AIM back with Open OSCAR Server, and get your tickets for GitHub Universe 2026.
