Out of curiosity I checked the generated javascript with typescript target configured to ES2022 and I saw something like this:

function leFormat(a) { console.log(`yes`, a) }
(0, leFormat)(new Date())

Why typescript chooses to do this? Why not just?:

leFormat(new Date())

Also, between parentheses values separated by comma will return the last one

a = (0, 1, '', null, console.log, undefined) // a === undefined
typeof (0, 1, '', null, console.log, undefined) === 'object'
(0, 1, '', null, console.log, undefined).toString() // TypeError: undefined has no properties

Is there a use for this, or is it just a quirk of the language?
