`Record` name conflict with Typescript

Open stafyniaksacha opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Since Typescript adoption is quite large, will not the Record name conflict with Record interface?

Knowing about the Type Annotations proposal, it may conflict too?

Some information in https://github.com/tc39/proposal-record-tuple/issues/9 and https://github.com/tc39/proposal-record-tuple/issues/82#issuecomment-1135651745

The conflict is only conceptual rather than breaking. In TypeScript Record exists only as a global symbol in the 'type space', where as the Record constructor in this proposal is a global name in the JavaScript 'value space', so the TypeScript compiler can tell the difference between the two.

Example:
