I think that whole constructors as classes business in JS is

I don't know about others, but I need to have a mental model of
what is going on in order to feel comfortable using a
language/API/library. I didn't really feel comfortable with the
ADD instruction until I understood how addition was implemented
at the circuit level. I didn't feel comfortable with C++ classes
until I understood the basic layout of an instance. I think is a
matter of believing I can avoid stepping on any landmines that
may be lying about.
I have a prejudice that the model should match the reality, but
I accept that an optimizer may do something completely different
if it still implements the model.
Simple is nice, but accurate is more important.
