I explained thoroughly why it would be good for it to be in the language, to the extent that I think you simply don't want to understand what I'm trying to accomplish. It's a very useful and popular OO feature that was attempted many times in user code and implementing it in the language allows for better semantics and simpler syntax. In particular, user code doesn't have access to the [[ScriptOrModule]] slot that I'm using in my proposal. Also, having a standard version is better. Otherwise, you can argue the same about many other things in the language. Why would this be "tilting at TC39 windmills"? Esdiscuss is the right place to discuss proposals and I think your stance is inappropriate. This is even more surprising as TC39 is currently discussing a proposal that includes a mixin mechanism. We already started a conversation that you left suspended. Unfortunately your second intervention isn't constructive either.
