Programming Languages

The core languages that power Helix AI services, ranging from type‑safe web front‑ends to high‑performance systems and data‑science back‑ends.

TypeScript 5.5

TypeScript 5.5 (Apr 2025) adds exhaustiveness checking for switch expressions, auto‑narrowing on `const` JSX props, and incremental project references that cut monorepo builds by up to 35 %. It compiles to ES2024, integrating seamlessly with React 19 and Next.js 14 toolchains.

JavaScript (ES2024)

ES2024 finalises explicit resource management (`using`), brings pipeline operator `|>`, and expands Temporal date‑time APIs. Modern bundlers like Vite 6 and Turbopack emit native top‑level await and module workers for faster, more secure client code.

Python 3.13

Python 3.13 (Oct 2025 roadmap) introduces removing the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) as an optional build, `f‑strings` with self‑doc expressions, and performance boosts from the no‑GIL specializing adaptive interpreter—keeping it the lingua franca for ML frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch.

Go 1.23

Go 1.23 (Aug 2025) stabilises the memory arena API, adds `try`‑syntax proposal experiments behind a build tag, and ships PGO‑guided inlining that improves server throughput by 8‑12 % in real‑world benchmarks like Caddy and Prometheus.

Rust 1.78

Rust 1.78 (Jul 2025) stabilises async traits, expands the borrow checker’s Polonius migration, and enables MIR inlining for 5 % smaller binaries. The `cargo nextest` profile is now shipped by default, streamlining CI for high‑concurrency back‑ends.

C# 13

C# 13 (Nov 2024, .NET 9) debuts `params Span<T>` for zero‑alloc APIs, primary constructors for all types, and intercepted `await using` scopes, enabling safer high‑performance microservices on ASP.NET Core.

Ruby 4.0

Ruby 4.0 (Dec 2024) merges YJIT 3.0 with tiered native code caching, Fiber scheduler improvements, and built‑in Ractor debugger, delivering 2× faster Rails page renders while retaining the language’s developer‑friendly ergonomics.

Kotlin 2.0

Kotlin 2.0 (Mar 2025) completes the K2 compiler rewrite, unlocks Lightning IR for 30 % faster incremental builds, and brings Compose Multiplatform to stable—allowing shared UI code across Android, iOS, Desktop, and Web targets.
