Trivia question - how many errors are reported by TS here? (:

declare const test: never;

if ("foo" in test) {
}

test.foo;
test["foo"];
const { foo } = test;

Weird trivia learned while looking through v8's source:

function fn(a) { console.log(a) }
fn.toString() // 'function fn(a) { console.log(a) }'
const bound = fn.bind(null)
bound.toString() // 'function () { [native code] }'

@searyanc.dev what's the proper mental model when it comes to void's presence in unions and intersections? and how it should behave when those are narrowed down by CFA etc? I can't find comprehensive answer to this anywhere

This was an interesting dive for me into how TS constructs its control flow information, I played a couple of times with interpreting its pieces in the narrowing-related code, but I almost never had a need to change how its created: github.com/microsoft/Ty...

JS class private fields trivia #1 - you can access them in subclasses as long as those subclasses are defined within the superclass

class Test1 {
#priv = 10;

Foo = class Foo extends Test1 {
constructor() {
super();
console.log(this.#priv);
}
};
}

const t1 = new Test1();
new t1.Foo(); // logs: 10
