Nordic.js 2014 • Douglas Crockford - The Better Parts
Nordic.js
Douglas Crockford's Nordic.js 2014 talk on 'the better parts' of JavaScript and programming in general. He argues against `this`, `new` and ES6 classes, and for classless, composition-based object patterns, with some broader remarks on building better structures for the future.
HN commenters cite it whenever JavaScript classes, `this` or inheritance come up, as the clearest case for classless OOP from Crockford.
