Decorator's shouldn't be a part of javascript when function composition serves the same purpose without adding additional syntax.

To play Devil's advocate, function composition can accomplish literally anything that's conputable, and principle of least power would suggest that having specific and limited syntax for common patterns is productive.

If Javascript continues to admit statement-based syntax, I think decorators are appropriate, because they allow the functional decorator pattern to be applied to function (and method, and class) declarations.

Most of the things that were introduced in ES6 were already possible without adding additional syntax (classes, arrow functions, etc.).

Function composition is so common it deserves its own syntax.
