Alternative syntax for <|

[Dmitry Soshnikov]

But why do we need new keyword?

Actually, I can accept a new keyword in case if reasons will really be 
serious. But in this case -- `extends' may fit quite nice.

P.S.: In general, it's just funny picture. Somehow ES4 made nice classes 
with nice syntax. Why (Why Y NO?) now we invent some scary things such 
as const Point = Point <| {}.constructor.{}.prototype{}. Just... why? 
What has happened with syntax idea even from ES4?

Dmitry.
