The fix looks good. I just have one question w.r.t. making the user aware of dead code. In the future we could potentially be dealing with side-effects, so we can do a similar recommendation to Rust. (i.e. use an _before_var_name if you want the dead code to not raise a warning)
| self.gen_let_statement(*pat, *initializer); | ||
| // If the let statement never finishes, there is no need to generate more code | ||
| if !self.gen_let_statement(*pat, *initializer) { | ||
| return None; |

Should we add a dead_code diagnostic?

Yes we should add that at some point but thats beyond the scope of this PR

Is it though? I'm talking about at least adding the diagnostic
Adding hard opt-outs without giving any user feedback reduces usability. Moving this to a potential future improvement generally results in a large degradation before it's tackled (or even gets forgotten). It seems like this is the best time to also do that additional small change, instead of having inconveniences accumulate over time.
Solves an issue where if an initializer of a let statement has the never type it crashed the code generation.
Fixes #262
