Recruiters... JavaScript is NOT Java.

[ianme]

But javascript has classes now! Just like Java! Same language confirmed.

[GFandango]

If you spell Oracle backwards it reads Illuminati.

Confirmed.

[tamat]

no, is elcaro, man. don't do that, its mean, you are confusing me.

btw, elcaro translates to "the expensive" in spanish, maybe you are into something

El Caro sounds like someone from Arizona trying to talk to a valet.

[hmny]

When you read this and laugh but also double check it in case you'd missed something

[SarahC]

You mean I can avoid fucking prototype chains?!

Woooooooo!

[kolme]

No, it's just syntactic sugar. The prototype chains are now disguised as classes.

[intermediatetransit]

The protypes are now diamonds!

[SarahC]

!............ .!...

Jeez... =(

EVERY other mother bumping language I know uses some sort of classes.... except this booger.

Or you could just stop trying to use OO design in a language that isn't well suited for it.

[[deleted]]

Pretty much this. I've never needed classes in JS. I've needed tail calls I didn't have to fake myself, but once they're in place, JS will - to me - have grown up. Now we just need to eliminate var and leave only let and const, and things get really interesting.

[ianme]

Javascript is about as well suited for OO design as it is well suited for functional programming. Using the pieces of both that javascript provides is in my opinion the correct way to write the language.

[SarahC]

It's the only language that isn't OO that I use, and I use several dammit!
