@medikoo, wow, the conversation has been going on for a long time. And in that conversation you linked, Sean Eagan said
> I think a static |super| in light of ES's dynamic |this| would actually be much more surprising. This would lead to looking for properties in a static |super| object that may be completely unrelated to the dynamic |this| value of a given function activation, which would certainly be surprising. > > Consistency with other languages is valuable, but consistency with this language (ES) is vital. A static |super| would be inconsistent with ES's dynamic |this|. I couldn't agree more. The interesting thing is although the conversation is so old, `super` is only just now coming out in JS engines. I only just now discovered this undesirable behavior because ES6 only just now became reality. Is there any hard evidence of the performance cost of a dynamic super? So far I've read in various places (for example the thread linked to by @medikoo, Axel's 2ality article on super) about there being "overhead", but the articles haven't quantified or put into perspective the actual performance cost. Is it really that bad? */#!/*JoePea
