Re: Subclassing a GObject in Typescript

Yes, I would accept a merge request for that.

(Although I'm not sure it's possible to emulate property decorators in current ES.)

On second thoughts, we still need to provide definitions for the existing symbols and registerClass(), so ts-for-gjs would be the best place for that. But then I thought why not plan ahead in gjs instead of waiting for a future version of SpiderMonkey/ES to provide decorator support? Can't we just add functions now to overrides/GObject.js that can be used as Typescript decorators already and hopefully be forwards-compatible with ES in the future?

That sounds like a good idea, but I think that means we'd currently have to provide extra code at run-time, and ts-for-gjs only provides edit-/compile-time type information for existing introspected code. So it might be better to make this a separate project/package rather than add a new sort of role to ts-for-gjs.
