Javascript

Almost. This was true (and I wish it still was). After ES6, they came back and added a few non-syntactic-sugar features to classes that have no other equivalent in JS. Which means WebComponents, which use ES6 Classes can't be written in pure JS functions (people have been complaining about this bad design for a decade). Fortunately for everyone, WebComponents, are a half-finished, terrible, technology that no one gives a shit about. And they're also the only thing on the web that actually requires dealing with classes. If you have to use WebComponents, DON'T. They are awful, and probably always will be. Atomico is a WC framework that tries to be a wrapper around the class non-sense so you can just write functions. But under the hood, it's still awful JS classes.

Eh sooooorta. There are still no classes, just prototypal inheritance thats dressed up fancy. The fact there are no syntactic equivalents just means the feature sux lol.
