Most of them are super old. Also, not sure if this is the right place for this question, but didn't know where else to drop it.

#

Also any tips on getting to understand the internals of TS better would be appreciated. I'm a TS user but looking to dive deeper.

The contributing doc is super helpful.

#

There is also #compiler-internals-and-api

#

Yeah those first issues seem pretty old. I would suggest just thinking of something you'd like to work on, learn about it and give it a go

@eternal oyster Hey I forgot about this

#

GitHub

This is a proposal to enable a syntax for exact types. A similar feature can be seen in Flow (https://flowtype.org/docs/objects.html#exact-object-types), but I would like to propose it as a feature...

#

GitHub

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output. - GitHub - RobertSandiford/TypeScript at closed-object-type

#

I ran into some difficulties, interop between exact and non exact would be awkward, would need further work to smooth that out

#

I should make a post soon explaining what I did and what I found

Sweet, thanks. I’m still getting a lay of the land, but will let you know if I work on this
