I Added Go's defer to TypeScript — and It Shouldn't Exist

Adding Go's Defer to the TypeScript Compiler

A developer explores adding Go's defer statement to the TypeScript compiler, transforming it into a try/finally with a stack of closures. The implementation reveals fundamental mismatches: JavaScript's exception-based error handling forces complex aggregation policies for cleanup failures, unlike Go's value-based errors. The author concludes defer doesn't belong in TypeScript and suggests the ECMAScript Explicit Resource Management proposal as a better fit.
