Intellisense with beta compiler

[basarat]

How are guys developing the current beta compiler now that there is so much syntax (unions,tagged types) that the current language service doesn't understand.

I'm trying to do some stuff with the NodeJS API #372 (comment) but typescript.d.ts is not really understandable by current tools. I can compile using a custom compiler build, just the intellisense is missing and I am curious about your workflow.

@basarat you should be able to use the release-1.4 compiler just fine with it. We use union types, type aliases, and const enums. typescript.d.ts was only first introduced for the 1.4 branch.

If you want intellisense and other LS features, see my instructions for using the latest language service here. Let me know if you have any further questions.
