Optional Chaining

before 3.7:

let x = (foo === null || foo === undefined) ?
undefined :
foo.bar.baz();

After 3.7

let x = foo?.bar.baz();

Nullish Coalescing

before 3.7:

let x = (foo !== null && foo !== undefined) ?
foo :
bar();

after 3.7:

let x = foo ?? bar();

Uncalled Function Checks

In 3.7

interface User {
isAdministrator(): boolean;
notify(): void;
doNotDisturb?(): boolean;
}
function doAdminThing(user: User) {
if (user.isAdministrator) {
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// error! This condition will always return true since the function is always defined.
// Did you mean to call it instead?t

These are the things that stick out for me! Alot more can beread on the official blog of microsoft:

Enjoy!
