Summary
The newest CDKTF release, version 0.18, significantly improves synthesization times for TypeScript, Python, and Java, enhancing the user experience by reducing processing time from several seconds to under a second. The release also includes various performance-related best practices, improved use of namespaces to reduce synth time, and faster code execution thanks to an upgraded JSII compiler. Additionally, CDKTF 0.18 introduces features such as auto-translation of Terraform HCL code to CDKTF-compatible languages using the `cdktf convert` command, improved multi-language provider documentation, and plans for future releases that include basic support for config-driven import and better refactoring capabilities.
