Dear JavaScript users,

Do you use ES6 or ES5 syntax for creating a class and adding helper functions? Node can't decypher ES6 so unsure what to do.

    @reginsmol Because "class" means something different in ES6 than in literally every other language out there.

    @reginsmol because its not class, its just syntactic sugar to help people from other languages (read java fanbois) to get something done, how ever there will be a day when you will have this problem where you expect it to work but instead you get mad debugging experience and still have to learn how prototype chains really work
