Hello Guys! I have always been a backend developer(Java, python, c++,c) and for a long time I haven't had the privilige to play with native javascript... so You can imagine when I was forced to code in javascript. After a couple of hours I had a really simple thought coming up from my spine: es6 is great and es7 will be great... but could you pls make it more like Java? I mean, it's great that es6 and 7 are getting closer and closer to normal languages then why not be simply Java? I and my team used GWT (when we were forced to code frontend) and other tools to avoid scripting but this time(standardization is somewhere close to the right track) You can actually make a difference and create a standard language that could be used everywhere. Not because there are already a lot of coders working in Java (and other high-level programming languages), just because it is a really pain in the a$$ to learn the not so important differences what es has compared to other languages... and they give nothing in return.
Okay, I know it is a scripting language so it can not be as verbose as Java... then just simply take stuff away from Java, and please don't add anything else for sugaring syntax.Please add syntax only for adding new features. As I reread my letter I have to admit that I might sound arrogant / offensive (and I am sorry for that , at least I am honest ) but I am really tired of reading about "new"-ish es features which are only new to this platform.
