Heh, I remember I thought many ES6 features were oddly designed, or even
crazy. However, since I was dealing with production code and needed said
features (and had decided to target ES6), I dutifully added 'em to my
crappy transpiler one-by-one.
Now I think *I* was crazy. When I was implementing the module
import/export syntax, I couldn't fathom why anyone would design it that
way. Now I can't imagine living without it; I love it. I thought the
concept of Symbol was odd too, until I got sick of seeing __iterator__
everywhere (that horrible "__" gets hard on the eyes after a while).
When I first started by project (all-shape.com), my code looked like this:
function Class() {
Object.defineProperty(this, "prop", {
get : function() {
}
})
}
Class.prototype.MethodA = function() {
}
Class.prototype.MethodB = function() {
}
You have no idea how much it meant to me when I implemented classes and
started seething this instead:
class Class {
MethodA() {
}
MethodB() {
}
get prop() {
}
}
Believe it or not, I implemented super() late. Oh man. When I started
seeing suff like:
Bleh.prototype.bleh.call(this)
Replaced with:
super.bleh();
I thought I would jump for joy.
Anyway, I'm incredibly grateful to the TC39 committed for their work.
Thanks,
Joe

positive noise mixed in with the negative?
