Agree on class fields but there's high demand. I haven't examined the exact detail but it seems hard to please both sides here. Not sure what the best way forward is.

On .bind(this), that's exactly what I meant by keeping the old system. "Fixing" that magically would have required underlying changes. That said, since you brought up class fields and bind in the same post, there's always:

    class Dog {
      bark() { console.log('Bark!'); }
      eat = (food) => console.log('Munch');
    }

    feedDog(dog.eat);

My favourite solution so far is the @autobind decorator. It's far from native yet, though. And of course, enters the newer decorators feature which drifts ever closer to Java-like syntax to some peoples' chagrin.

True, and that's what people use extensively. Class fields break `extends` though :)
