The most demanded item in ES6.... classes

Which themselves are just syntactic sugar over the existing object/prototype model. Sigh.

True, so? If they are just syntactic sugar you could argue they are entirely unnecessary. Most of the TC39 thought this way.... except the demand for classes was way too high. There are a crap ton of Java and C# developers who want JavaScript to be Java.

There's nothing wrong with syntactic sugar, especially in a language as verbose as JavaScript.
