TypeScript Contribution Diary: Allowing Code in Constructors Before `super()` (Technical Overview)

Read Original

This article provides a detailed technical overview of a significant TypeScript language contribution. It explains the changes made to the type checker and transformers to allow code (like logging or temporary variables) before the `super()` call in derived class constructors, while still restricting the use of `this` and `super` keywords before that point. The post covers the project's scope, implementation strategy, and specific code modifications in the TypeScript compiler.
