Minimalist Classes

[Axel Rauschmayer]

I don’t think Allen’s proposal is controversial, any more. It’s how things work in almost all mainstream (OO) languages. I don’t see myself using `super` anywhere outside an object literal – except for a few cases where Object.defineMethod() works just fine. Do you have any real-world examples where you want to use `super` outside an object literal? Caveat: In some contexts, you need the extension "monocle" operator to make object literals viable.

>> I don't think hard coding the name of the super-constructor is a
