Thanks Juliette for the excellent write-up (I quoted the TL;DR just for 
brevity).

At first what the RFC promises looks incredibly shiny and got me very 
excited. The work done by Larry and Ilija is certainly brilliant, but 
the complexity is so big that I feel we should aim for a trimmed down 
version to make it easier to grasp and to work with, e.g. less syntax 
variants (no short or constructor promotion), and perhaps no virtual 
properties.


Cheers
