As a quick note, some of the things that Brendan mentioned in the talk didn't end up making it in to Harmony. Here's a link to the meeting minutes:

Notably, arrow functions and paren-free blocks of code didn't make it in ... classes and comprehensions did.
- knowtheory 15y agoHey Jeremy, i know that there's been a lot of discussion on the es-discussion list that decided how that all shaped up, but i can barely keep up with the flood of mail that comes through. How do you manage it? Do you actually keep up with all the messages that come through?
- jashkenas 15y agoShamefully, I don't subscribe to es-discuss. I just visit the archive pages every once in a while, and read the threads that look interesting.
- knowtheory 15y agoHah, i'd actually just unsubscribed from es-discuss earlier this week. I couldn't handle the deluge. I'll consider doing something similar.
- BrendanEich 15y agoHarmony is a state of mind ;-). Seriously, we were considering what to promote to "ES.next", very likely ES6. Arrows may yet make it, some on TC39 want to give them a late permission slip. If not, there's always ES.next.next if we can achieve consensus in TC39 on them.
- voidr 15y agoI think the last thing JS needs is classes...., it's too dynamic and non-classical in nature for that. I fear JS will turn into the new C++.
- olavk 15y agoThere is nothing inherently non-dynamic about classes. Python has classes and is fully dynamic.
