Wow, what a great resource. So class is a function even though it looks like an object, because it has the same prototype object as a function, very weird. I just have one more question about your named class expression, let Car = class Toyota {}. Wouldn't you instantiate a new object with New Car, how would you use the "Toyota" part of the class expression?

It’s would just give that class a name. If I were to console.log(“car.name”), it would return “Toyota”. The name is local to the classes body.

Ah, I think I understand all the confusing bits about class, thanks for teaching me!
