We Are All Starchildren

>90% of our body's Atoms Were forged

by some long-gone star

in The distant past

Why are we here?

Why are we here

convey ideas & thinking processES

Value Cross-disciplinary knowledge

draw inspirations from the nature

Class Composition as an example

Just making sure

(Stage 1)

are still prototypal

formalize a specific pattern of prototypal inheritance

Quick facts

unburden the function keyword

are better for static analysis & readability

ES2015 Classes...

appear at exactly where the next level of language abstraction would appear

IMHO

are designed to be “Maximally Minimal”

So does technique

technology by itself

Has No Good or bad

it's the intent that matters

shit happens

when the inheritance chain

gets too long
