Someone just brought <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9742823> to my attention. It says: I like the author’s remarks and philosophy about keeping JavaScript small, but I thought the opening was remarkably uncharitable. The specific person and the specific feature are quite irrelevant to the point he’s making here. I am left with some admiration for his goals, but also a great deal of trepidation about ever suggesting anything or even talking about JavScript.next. Will I be the next one called out by name if I make the mistake of asking whether traits might be a good addition to JavaScript? I agree completely, and I fully apologize. Starting the thread this way was inappropriate, at least without some mitigating text which I did not think to add. I like the fact that we are all civil to each other here and try to keep the environment welcoming and friendly. Please no one take my message as precedent in the other direction.
