Hi,
The functional features in JavaScript 1.8 could greatly aid

when writing map-reduce functions for views.
Does anyone oppose upping the language version? If so, I'd appreciate
hearing their reasons.
I don't think it'd be a good idea to require until it hits general
consumption (as in, shows up in package managers). Their build
procedure is at best, 'interesting'. Also, there's nothing to keep you
from linking couchjs against a newer version of the library. I haven't
groked all of the API breakage but there was a report on the list
awhile back that seemed to indicate that it only involved a minor
patch.
HTH,

Thank you,
