Some minor problems I see from looking at the examples are things like  

class Foo{
someFunction(){ … }
}

become:  

var Foo = (function(){
this.prototype.someFunction = function(){...}
}();

IMHO, that seems kinda wrong to me? Every time the constructor is called the prototypes are rewritten?

There is simply no rationale for not having one at this point - we should be encouraging the _next web_.  
Right.
