Yeah I dunno.

There's like at least 3 or 4 different ways of constructing "classes" without the Class keyword. Frankly, that's a mess. I get that each has it's own advantages etc, but I don't WANT to figure out some hipster's clever new way of managing inheritance chains.

I want to use the supported method of creating classes within the language. I prefer usage of the "Class" keyword because no matter how the language changes from here on out, it's a pretty safe bet that "Class" is going to always be the rightest way to do it, and the one that everyone else will understand.

He's saying to prefer not using any version of classes, including the "hipster" alternatives to the class keyword, not just the class keyword itself. And I agree with him. But if I find the right use for classes, I enjoy using them. He was advocating for FP over OOP.
