@getify @BrendanEich I have literally been the #1 advocate for considering existing patterns on TC39. It's not an absolute.

@getify@BrendanEich you should gist the code you are saying broke. -
@getify@BrendanEich ES5 code was allowed to throw in the constructor, and that was actually a quite common defense! -
@wycats 's decorator proposal I think shows the true power and benefit of class. *THAT*'s the biggie, for me at least.@getify@BrendanEich -
@adamrackis@wycats@brendaneich further reinforcement of my OP… decorators are distinctly "class-like" and alien to prototype-only patterns -
@getify@AdamRackis@BrendanEich what is a prototype-only pattern? -
@getify@AdamRackis@BrendanEich ES5 constructors quite often throw when called, just in weird ways. What makes you think otherwise? -
@wycats@adamrackis@brendaneich "what makes [me] think otherwise?" nothing more concrete than i've been around just as long as you. -
@getify@AdamRackis@BrendanEich you are making an empirical claim: ES5 constructors very rarely throw when [[Call]]ed. Self evidently false - 7 more replies
