-----Original Message----- From: es-discuss [mailto:es-discuss-boun...@mozilla.org] On Behalf Of Isiah Meadows Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2014 20:53 To: es-discuss@mozilla.org Subject: Unhoisted class declarations I know it was touched on a recent thread (https://esdiscuss.org/topic/a-new-es6-draft-rev28), but is there a reason why class declarations aren't hoisted like function declarations? It is a little confusing to be to type (1) but not (2). (1) ```js foo(); // prints "Yay!" function foo() { console.log('Yay!'); } ``` (2) ```js new Foo().speak(); // Error class Foo { constructor() {} speak() { console.log('Yay!'); } } ``` -- Isiah Meadows _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
