I was asked this question in an interview sitting a couple of months ago. I'm pretty sure some of you really ever thought of changing something in JS language.
I will be happy to know your opinion in the comment.

No you can't, not when private data has to be encapsulated into a struct like concept, not unless you're willing to sacrifice a great deal of performance and memory.
I think you're being too dogmatic.
Your example doesn't require any encapsulation, the only private data is shared by all objects; and that would definitely be one good usecase of classes.
Just a question: Why
from ... import? Is there any benefit?I would like to remove all those things which are repetative bevause in javascript there is more than one way to perform a single thing and I hate that most
Even in pure functional languages like Haskell, there are things like classes. Sometimes classes even enable more elegant functional designs. Sure people abuse OO horribly, but removing classes from the language entirely is too dogmatic.
Rename
XMLHttpRequestwithXMLHTTPRequest.Ohh yeah, I'm aware.. I agree that they are kinda unnecesary, but they make my life a bit easier. I fricking hated constructor functions, but now I kinda enjoy working with "classes". I prefer not to if I can, but sometimes I need to
Couldn't we also consider that high-level programming languages are also just sugar?
One of the things I like about arrow function is that, you don't need to fill your code with the
functionkeyword, reducing the amount of noise and clutter. I really enjoy those kinds of things, where you don't need to write unnecesary keywords. Take Java for example, a big percentage of the code is justpublic,private,final,static... I don't enjoy that, it's a mess (but they have a place and I can see the value of them).And although I would not like this change to be implementet, I get your point :P
Let's hope it does not go that way, at least not excesively 🤞
Of course, that's what I like about this types of posts, they make us talk about this things and respectfully debate them
Now that you mention it, I never realized how much I wanted this syntax until now.
I cringe reading this. You want to remove mostly optional stuff to make JS more like other language. My guess is you don't want to use JS and really want Python support in browsers.
Remove classes no one needs them. JS is anyway the most object oriented language even without them.
I am also personally not a fan of classes.
