Description

Currently, monaco.languages.typescript.ScriptTarget goes up to ES2020. I did managed to get ES2021 working, by setting ScriptTarget = ESNext in the compiler options and set the lib to use es2021, but when I tried to use es2022 or es2023 in the lib, Monaco fails to load any ES types. Version I tested with is 0.50.0.

Research direction

Start by tracing monaco.languages.typescript.ScriptTarget and the compiler options for lib, then compare the ES2020, es2021, es2022, and es2023 behavior reported against version 0.50.0. Done means ES2023 can be selected and its standard library types load without Monaco failing.
