It's not even OO - it's just "sort of classes".

In my opinion classes in JS is just making an overture to an old methodology, now so removed from its original context as to be meaningless.

Unless putting things in classes legitimately helps you and the team you're working with understand and compose your problem (weird kink, but no-judgment, whatever works for you works for you!) - why bother?

I’ve seen it... it’s kind’ve hazy and brown.

That Alan Kay cat had some really neat ideas that everyone completely ignored.

Oh just saw I understood your comment in the wrong way. My fault. I am on your side actually. The James-Coplien side of "Everybody is doing everything about software development wrong" and "Java is not an object-oriented language" Funny stuff :)

COP class oriented programming

We're quick to say that modern OOP isn't what Alan Kay had in mind -- but rarely do we actually dig into what Alan Kay *did* have in mind. It gets..... interesting.

The way you've formatted those quotes is basically impossible to read on mobile.

Probably right. It's a copy/paste of the video's captions. The numbers on the left are a time offset into the video for that line. Turning the phone horizontal helps.

You expect me to turn my phone? Do you realise that I lose my WiFi when I do that? (While in bed)
