I’m going to butcher this. But, in the grand scheme of things a “class” in most languages is just a group of related static functions. When you create an object from a class definition you are creating an object that holds values. When you call a method on that object, you are passing a pointer to the object to a static function.

It’s all just syntactic sugar in any language. Before the class keyword, it was just more explicit in JS.

A class is a function in JS, a class is a separate type in most other languages. I don’t see a meaningful difference.
