JS is my favourite but I really dislike the class syntax that was introduced in ES6. The prototype chain is easy to understand and doesn’t need to be hidden beneath “class”, “extends” and “super” which feel more like Java.
I agree with you, and for me the worst thing about the introduction of pseudo-classes is that new developers tend to think about it in the same way that it work in other OOP languages, working on projects and building some things without really understand the inner working of JS

Agreed. I think
classwas added just to satisfy OOP programmers from other languages, and to confuse new learners.In JS, the OOP concept is prototype-based. The
classis actually just built on top of the constructor function.I agree with you, and for me the worst thing about the introduction of pseudo-classes is that new developers tend to think about it in the same way that it work in other OOP languages, working on projects and building some things without really understand the inner working of JS
Precisely.
