Hey, great gist I encountered a problem though when trying it out:

Bar1 should have super.componentWillMount(); removed otherwise it will result in a TypeError

This is abusing the language capabilities. Mixin and inheritance are two different concepts with two different goals. For mixin, the support either should come from the language or you can just create instances of the mixin classes inside the host class and proxy to their methods.

@pmvald Could you elaborate on "create instances of the mixin classes inside the host class and proxy to their methods" please. I am trying to do that
