Unable to compile typescript due to typing problems

[richbai90]

Issue description

I just updated my bot to version 13 and made all of the necesary changes to make it compatible, but I'm unable to compile the typescript due to typing errors. Every time I try I get these errors:

node_modules/discord.js/typings/index.d.ts:2989:41 - error TS1005: ';' expected.

2989 export type Constructable<T> = abstract new (...args: any[]) => T;

Seems like you missed this, but please include the TS version

[vladfrangu]

Can also right off the bat mention that your TS version is most likely outdated

[richbai90]

Yeah it was the TS version. I was on 4.1, updating to 4.5 fixed it. Sorry to waste your time, but I appreciate the help

This can be closed then @richbai90

I also have the same issue, and I am using node v16.9.1 and typescript 4.5. I get the exact same errors as above.
