I really hope that “let is the new var” will hold and won’t be replaced with
“let is the new var, except for class declarations and global variables”.
One more possibility (in addition to not writing anything at all and using let
instead of var):
class C {
public x = 0, y = 0; // the analog to private
const foo = "abc";
}
Two more thoughts:
- We are becoming more verbose than object literals (with either var or
public). I had hoped that we could preserve their lightweight spirit.
- How often will one define non-function prototype properties? It could even be
considered an anti-pattern. That might make it easier to decide on verbose
syntax.
