Incremental compilation (tsc --incremental)
A compiler mode that caches build information so subsequent TypeScript compilations run much faster.
"I changed one file — why does a full rebuild take forever every time?"
tsc --incremental stores per-file build info (a .tsbuildinfo file) so future tsc runs reuse prior work and only re-check/re-emit affected files, dramatically speeding iterative edits and large migrations.
