Upgrade Tips

  • Pass arguments to functions based on parameter names rather than exact positional ordering.
  • Add structured metadata to classes, methods, properties, and functions using native syntax.
  • Define and initialize object properties directly within the constructor parameter list.
  • Use match expressions as a strict, expression-based alternative to switch statements.
