Oliver objects, as do others, to "punning" (my word) declarative syntax to define object properties, and mixing static and dynamic influences. He specifically cited the location of public exportable-definitions in the constructor body, instead of in the class body. We then discussed how putting public x,y; for a class Point in the class body requires separate assignments in the constructor body. Without type annotations (guards) the public declaration is easy to leave out -- it seems optional or unnecessary. And in the case of const (public const K) there's no way to initialize with a constructor parameter or other per-construction state. Anyway, this was the counter-argument, heard before. Oliver, anything to add? /be _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
