— But I don't, because of IIFE

—

Which MEANS only statics AND instance methods within the class definition itself have access to private vars

— And NOT external (modified in runtime for example) instance methods:

MyClass.prototype.foo = [rogue function]

— Which means that the new syntax offers no new attack surface

— There is a buitin for getting all symbols, isn't there?

— WAT

— Yeah, I remember reading about it on MDN

— This does make sense

— Well, symbols is only one method

— I could also have used WeakMap

— I never meant attack surface, more an issue of smelly code haha

— I guess it depends on use case
