— Many think they are not quite sane, or proficient? Something. I try not to judge.

Could I do this:

class MyClass {
  #priv = 42;
}

MyClass.staticMethod =
  function (myInstance) {
    // Can I get #priv from here?
  };

— If not, that's fine

— As long as ALL the accessors of #priv neccessarily have to be defined within the class declaration I don't see a problem

— Hmm, not sure!

— As I understand it class is just a special function, and assigning a property to an uninstantiated class should get you the same results as assigning a property to a function definition.

— Uuuh noo

— Which... I have never tried, haha

— It creates a static method

—

class MyClass {
  static myMethod () {
    return 4;
  }
}

equivalent to:

function MyClass() {
};

MyClass.myMethod =
  function myMethod() {
    return 4;
  };

— Except second one can run as a function (without new) as well

— That's the only difference
