Question: Why lib and target are not the same in @tsconfig/nodexx

[zanminkian]

For example, in @tsconfig/node18

{
  "$schema": "https://json.schemastore.org/tsconfig",

  "_version": "18.2.0",

  "compilerOptions": {
    "lib": ["es2023"],
    "module": "node16",
    "target": "es2022",

    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "moduleResolution": "node16"
  }
}

One is es2023 while the other is es2022. Why?

[jakebailey]

target es2023 didn't exist until TS 5.5, released just yesterday.

Got it. Thanks!
