ES6 classes are just syntactic sugar for constructor/prototypes like we write them today. You can mutate them as much as you like.

Pretty sure they still are syntactic sugar for prototypes, just like in ES6. But SoundScript enforces that you cannot modify prototypes. There's not really a problem with that, it's doing it for speed. So it's not for your average Javascript app where performance doesn't matter as much.
