<|, super and possibly some support for subclassing (to set up the constructor property in subclasses etc.) would cover *a lot* of ground (if we can’t have something more sophisticated – I’m wondering if we are at a “now or never” point in this regard. That is: If we don’t make breaking changes for <insert your favorite class-like construct> now, will we ever?). One thing that should be kept in mind is tool support: How do IDEs get enough information for auto-expansion etc. Lack of a good IDE still makes it slightly painful to write JavaScript for me (while I really like the language). Is there someone with experience in that department that could comment? I’m guessing that type guards would help(?) What else? IDE support would be a pro-class literal argument, I guess. Another question: If *everything* is encapsulated (instantiation, subclassing, instanceof, etc.) then it doesn’t matter any more what goes on under the hood. -- Dr. Axel Rauschmayer a...@rauschma.de twitter.com/rauschma home: rauschma.de blog: 2ality.com _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
