Summary

Questions

  • Did the lack of native data encapsulation features retard the adoption of javascript as a language for large applications?
  • What strengths does the prototypal inheritence pattern afford? In what sorts of situations is it preferable to classical inheritence?
  • What specific benefits did the more naive object model afford javascript? Do we lose anything with the more expressive, opinionated model we gain in ES6?
