I started with Java, and definitely experienced that. I heard a comparison that comparing Java to JavaScript was like comparing a car to a carpet, but I don't think that holds as much anymore because the JS ecosystem has really developed in the past few years.

I think adding the option to do OOP in JS is a good direction to take, as letting developers choose which paradigm to use for each situation is really powerful. That power is another reason I see the same approach being adapted in Java 8+ and other languages.
