So, to clarify, as of this day it still doesn’t work, and the reason being - it doesn’t work in FireFox.
In the meantime, all our Node.js code in JavaScript uses
argumentsfor spread operator without any issues, but the TypeScript can’t/won’t do it regardless, for compatibility with FireFox.Shouldn’t support for spread of array-like objects become the default at this point, or at least default when building for the server-side?
@aaronresnick as mentioned in the PR text, when targeting ES3/ES5 you have to use
--downlevelIteration. Are you using that?
