By JavaScript 1.8 I assume you mean Spidermonkey 1.8 and not the
latest trunk for Spidermonkey aka Tracemonkey which is version 1.9.

Technically Spidermonkey 1.8 hasn't been released yet, but this is the
version that is included in the latest release of Firefox and an
official RC1 release of Spidermonkey 1.8 was pushed a few weeks back.

I'll throw in a non-binding +1 to using Spidermonkey 1.8, the addition
of Array.reduce() is reason enough for me.

Hi,
The functional features in JavaScript 1.8 could greatly aid developers
when writing map-reduce functions for views.
Does anyone oppose upping the language version? If so, I'd appreciate
hearing their reasons.
Thank you,
