@mjackson @ReactJSNews I agree, but is there a good reason not to use them other than mixins?

@Keith_Rousseau it's the same old "composition vs. inheritance" discussion we've had for years now. Always prefer comp. Simple @ReactJSNews

@mjackson @ReactJSNews Right but there's no reason you can't use composition with classes. Decorators provide a nice way to do that

@Keith_Rousseau the fact that decorators are a thing in JS is testament to the limitations of class. @ReactJSNews

@Keith_Rousseau decorators solve a problem that didn't even exist before we started using classes. @ReactJSNews

@mjackson manipulating descriptors is not very simple without decorators @keith_rousseau @reactjsnews

@sebmck can you please show an example of what you're talking about? I assume you're talking about prototypes @Keith_Rousseau @ReactJSNews
