Is "es2021" target/lib valid?

[bwdotdev]

I daily run Node 16 so it is natural that when creating new projects, one of the first things I do is yarn add --dev @tsconfig/node16.

This does however present an issue; the node16 tsconfig contains es2021 as it's "target" and "lib" which causes TypeScript to scream at me both within my IDE (VS Code) and upon compiling my project.

I assumed I had an old version of typescript installed or similar but upon checking the Official Documentation, I have discovered that es2021 is not actually a valid property.

Should this become ESNext instead until ES2021 is supported?

Also, as a side note, all of the configs currently specify the ECMA version in lowercase (es2020), whilst the documentation uses uppercase (ES2020); these should probably be updated to follow the documentation.

same thing happening to me, same thoughts and doubts...

es2021 exists in the current 4.3 beta ( which got an rc last week) - I'm open to moving this back to es2020 though 👍🏻
