But the exposed javascript "objects" made it clear it wasn't a traditional "class" found in other languages. Also, how is ES6 more interesting than ClojureScript?

There is no single "traditional class" in other languages. Pretty much every language has its own flavor of classes with different restrictions and internals.

Perhaps a better term would be "popular"? As in, what's in use by Java and C#.
