To`class` or not to `class`?

The approach of checked errors is making a comeback. See Swift, Rust, Kotlin + Arrow.kt, and several takes on it in TypeScript: purify, fp-ts, etc.

If you're curious to know what a class-heavy JavaScript codebase looks like, look no further than the Visual Studio Code source code. Almost everything is a class. Some of the classes make sense, but a lot of them just scream "I am a C# developer who was forced to use JavaScript."
