(and various others wrote things along the same lines, or similar concerns) I'm strongly in agreement. This is not going to help people in the long run, and may well be as Ted puts it an anti-feature that causes all sorts of problems we've chipped away at to re-rear their heads (ossified unsafe impls, lack of any improvements, etc). A good module system is a much more useful and liberating thing to do. -- Randell Jesup, Mozilla Corp remove "news" for personal email _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
