Maybe, but I think that you'd be beating a dead horse. Class syntax is wanted to avoid some method calling boilerplate that's more verbose, arguably easier to get wrong, and harder to analyze and optimize. That's it. Hence, "classes as sugar". If you find existing JS sweet enough, you won't want classes. /be > Regards > -- > Irakli Gozalishvili > Web: http://www.jeditoolkit.com/ > Address: 29 Rue Saint-Georges, 75009 Paris, France > > On Friday, 2011-11-11 at 16:05 , John J Barton wrote: > >> On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 3:47 PM, Irakli Gozalishvili <rfo...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >>> Hi, >>> I have posted this to the long thread of "Minimalist Classes", but since I >>> have not got any response, I assume it got lost into a long discussion.
