| // Here is a proposal for minimalist JavaScript classes, humbly offered. | |
| // There are (at least) two different directions in which classes can be steered. | |
| // If we go for a wholly new semantics and implementation, then fancier classical | |
| // inheritance can be supported with parallel prototype chains for true inheritance | |
| // of properties at both the class and instance level. | |
| // If however, we keep current JavaScript prototype semantics, and add a form that | |
| // can desugar to ES3, things must necessarily stay simpler. This is the direction | |
| // I'm assuming here. |
