I’m sorry but I also found thearticle to be low-quality click-bait.

Low quality because the reasons for not using classes are very weak. BTW, private class fields are Stage 3 proposal.

Click-bait because the title mentions alternatives, yet the article provides none.

I think the intellectually honest move here would be to delete it. I’m stupefied at how it got 1.6K claps, but honest congrats on that! Others are writing genuinely useful articles and get no recognition. Welcome to Medium!
