Currently, field initialization generates unneeded code when using default values.
The following code :
class Foo:
_enabled = false
_count = 0
Will create and emit these as assignment in the constructor.
Of course one could define fields with _enabled as bool and _count as int to avoid that, but it is not what type inference is about and Boo should be smart enough to handle that automatically.
