"Do we want to accept simple (non-substitution) templates in places we accept string literals (i.e. module names, overloading on string constants, etc.)? On one hand, it would seem more consistent with the rest of our language, but ECMAScript 6 does not accept them in property names."

I would say no. I'm not sure we have a reason to be more lenient than ES6.

@JsonFreeman I agree; what about indexing?

I think we can type an index expression with literal, yes.

@RyanCavanaugh excuse me. please add es6 label to this issue.
I want to check es6 feature on this url https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues?q=label%3AES6

I just noticed that this ES6 feature is still a proposal, so why implement it already? Not that it isn't great and useful, just wondering why focusing on things that are still status: Draft on ES6 specs. I guess you have your reasons, just wonder what they are ;)

It's actually pretty much nailed down, and it's very unlikely that it will be removed/modified drastically. If anything does change, we'll be very mindful in addressing that. =)

Ok, nice then, it's a nice feature btw, looking forward for 1.4. :)

Hi there, I realize that this is on the Roadmap for 1.4. I'm curious though if we might see it sooner as perhaps an experimental option. My team and I would certainly love to start using this sooner rather than later to clean up our code :-)

Cheers!

Hey @topherfangio, glad to hear you're enthusiastic about this feature.

If you're dying to try it out, you can clone our repo and use our release-1.4 branch, but 1.4 is largely on the horizon, just be patient. =)
