We currently support node 18 still...

[james-pre]

Node 18 is end-of-life and deprecated. Plus, typescript-estree already ships with @types/node 22, which I figured meant using node 22 APIs would be okay. If not, perhaps a downgrade to @types/node 18 is needed.

@james-pre

Yes but it would be a breaking change to use APIs not available in node 18. Support for EOL versions of node will obviously be dropped in the next major version though.

Plus, typescript-estree already ships with @types/node 22, which I figured meant using node 22 APIs would be okay. If not, perhaps a downgrade to @types/node 18 is needed.

No worries! If you have suggestions about how to improve the developer experience of this repo (such as by staying on older versions of node types) feel free to file an issue 👍
