• Ability to skip elements in tuple type annotation #2671 Allow omitted elements in tuple type annotations
  • NMI: What are the scenarios where you want to write the type annotation?

  • Do memberof instead so this happens in the type system rather than emit
• Support merging classes and modules across files #3802 Allow merging classes and modules across files
  • Awaiting feedback
• Suggestion: Reopen static and instance side of classes #2957 Reopen static and instance side of classes
  • Won't fix given available workarounds
• Allow subclass constructors without super() call #7285 Allow subclass constructors without super() call
  • Don't want to massively overcomplicate codegen, but ES6 compliance is important
  • Punt to Friday
• Type guards in Array.prototype.filter #7657 Type guards in Array.prototype.filter
