Must be frustrating for Crockford to be in TC39.

He didn't like class keyword, thought typing (TypeScript etc) is a wrong direction. This (albeit it began 2013, but it was just updated) library does not mention ES6 Promises, proposal for async await, or the yield hack.

Crockford is no longer in TC39 and hasn't attended for quite some time now (maybe a year).
could you please explain why you think typing is a wrong direction?
The reference is to Crockford not liking typing. Here is one link backing that up: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+DouglasCrockfordEsq/posts/MgzNU...
