apparently there is an ecmascript proposal for this syntax: class Foo { a = 1; } which would assign `this.a = 1` on every /instance/, rather than the prototype. unsure how i feel about this. also adds private fields, which i feel very strongly Is Bad https://github.com/tc39/proposal-class-fields …

I think one of the biggest traps of API design is thinking that something being common means it needs to be a special case.

api design is so hard, goddamn

Do you have any idea WTF the `static [a];` and `[b];` in that proposal do?

brackets mean "evaluate this expression and use the result as an identifier here". you can already do it with function definitions; it's especially useful if you want to use a Symbol as a name

Maybe I'm just a dinosaur, but `this[Symbol.iterator] = function() {... }` seemed fine

lmao fair enough, but this lets you keep it in the class body
