Current state:

fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin@next uses a node 8 only internal for performance timing.

However @johnnyreilly is working on a solution so we will be able to use it even for node 6 🎉

Side note: I would highly recommend to use a higher node version in your projects however as long as node 6 is the official supported webpack 4 version we should also try to achieve the same for the webpack-config-plugins to be compatible
