Current status

To instantiate an object of a class that inherits from another class, the new expression takes all parameters from the superclass(es) and the class, in the sequence given by the inheritance hierarchy.

Proposal

Introduce an init block that calls super to initialize the fields of the direct superclass.

Example

Old version

class A(int x)
end

class B(int y)
end

main
   B x = new B(0, 0)
end

Proposed syntax

class A(int x)
end

class B(int y)
   init
      super(y)
   end
end

main
   B x = new B(0);
end
