My thoughts for what they are worth: The semantics for const in Harmony are likely to be silently different in Harmony from the semantics it has in non-strict current implementations. (In particular the current const is hoisted to the surrounding function, whereas the one in Harmony won't, so the shadowing will be different.)
Given this silent behavioural change it would be advantageous to flush out existing uses of const before Harmony arrives and gives it a new meaning. Forbidding const in strict mode would seem to be a way to do that. -- Erik Corry, Software Engineer Google Denmark ApS - Frederiksborggade 20B, 1 sal, 1360 København K - Denmark - CVR nr. 28 86 69 84 _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
