* Add helpers that understand constructor functions * getEffectiveConstructSignatures gets construct signatures from type, and call signatures from constructor functions if there are no construct signatures. * getEffectiveConstructSignatureReturnType gets the "JS Class type" for constructor functions, and the return type of signatures for all other declarations. This is a first step toward making constructor functions have construct signatures instead of call signatures, which will also contribute to fixing instantiation of generic constructor functions, which is basically broken right now. Note that the baselines *improve* but, because of the previously mentioned generic problem, are still not correct. Construct signatures for constructor functions and generic constructor functions turns out to be an intertwined problem. * Correct correct originalBaseType And, for now, return anyType for generic constructor functions used as base types. Don't give an incorrect error based on the function's return type, which is usually void. * Add error examples to tests * Add construct signatures instead of getEffective* functions * Fix typo in baseline * Remove pesky newline I thought I got rid of it! * Test of constructor tag on object literal method It doesn't work, and shouldn't in the future, because it's a runtime error.
TypeScript
TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types to JavaScript that support tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and Twitter account.
Installing
For the latest stable version:
npm install -g typescript
For our nightly builds:
npm install -g typescript@next

Documentation
Building
In order to build the TypeScript compiler, ensure that you have Git and Node.js installed.
Clone a copy of the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript.git
Change to the TypeScript directory:
cd TypeScript
Install Jake tools and dev dependencies:
npm install -g jake
npm install
Use one of the following to build and test:
jake local # Build the compiler into built/local
jake clean # Delete the built compiler
jake LKG # Replace the last known good with the built one.
# Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
jake tests # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler.
jake runtests # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure.
# You can override the host or specify a test for this command.
# Use host=<hostName> or tests=<testPath>.
jake runtests-browser # Runs the tests using the built run.js file. Syntax is jake runtests. Optional
parameters 'host=', 'tests=[regex], reporter=[list|spec|json|<more>]'.
jake baseline-accept # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from jake runtests.
jake lint # Runs tslint on the TypeScript source.
jake help # List the above commands.
Usage
node built/local/tsc.js hello.ts
