Traits were factored out and I consider adding them in this exercise to be a "bridge too far". > None the less, I think we could well get rid of those `var' inside the > class-body, as long as it's not executable: I don't think so, although Bob Nystrom's suggestions ended up simplified that way. It's awkward to use assignment expression as a declarative form. It suggests the body *is* executable. Instead, I went with 'var' as Bob did originally. My view is that 'var' will die hard and for global-object-aliasing global variables, it's close to class prototype properties. There's no way to observe the prototype half-initialized. As noted, there's a risk people will think methods close over proto-vars/consts. /be _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
