Starting with Nx 20.4 we're shipping a new Nx experience, optimized for working with NPM/Yarn/PNPM workspaces and TypeScript project references. For now, it is behind a `--workspaces` flag, but soon, it will be the default.
The main highlights
- Setup is minimalistic and simple. You won't see almost no traces of Nx itself, still it's there to enhance your experience
- Huge performance improvements for TypeScript thanks to TypeScript project references
Let's dive in!
