Oct 1, 2025October 2025 performance highlights for JetBrains/MPS: focused delivery across migration tooling, type checking, and module UX. Key features delivered include migration script clarifications for extension methods, improving clarity and correctness when converting an extension call to a local call, removing the this keyword, and updating generated caches. Major bugs fixed include nested expression type checking improvements addressing IndexedTupleLiteral and DotExpression, and cross-module rule reference handling, with CheckingUtil adjustments and a rebuild of depending modules to propagate changes. A minor formatting fix was also applied to the Java module facet help URL.
