Description

I have opinion against syntax for private properties and methods in this proposal.

Many languages have keywords private, protected, public. I suggest to add that keywords against # syntax. It's looks like you guys reinventing the wheel, but we have that syntax many years in languages like Java or C++ or PHP etc.
And making JavaScript with "something" new is harm to JavaScript. I think Javascript need to be more closer to other languages like Java or C# or TypeScript (where we have private/protected/public modificators). And don't create your "own" things.
