It's disconcerting to hear that some at TC39 are pushing back against decorators. @BrendanEich please tell me these rumors are unfounded nonsense. The major projects using decorators is endless, as is the pain of this feature being forever in limbo.

You'd expect this use case to be used a lot in absolute numbers, because those decorators are the "class" and "function" of the framework in question. It might be iffy if a single app uses 100 different decorators, or is making a lot of its own.

iow
@connect is really just "custom syntax" for the Redux dialect of JS, to a first approximation. A handful of those extensions are very powerful. Dozens and you should probably be using your own language. -
Yes, exactly. High-level framework features applied to a class, spitting out a new class wrapping the old, adding new stuff. Other main use case ime is for ergonomic mixins const validated = Class => class extends Class { isValid = true; validate() { etc }

But now with different syntax

And maybe a cowpath for real syntax someday!
