Worthy (IMBO) reads on Jim's fickle server: http://jibbering.com/faq/notes/code-guidelines/#asi http://jibbering.com/faq/notes/code-guidelines/asi.html There are plenty of beginners who haven't experienced those problems (see SO for details). > Personally I would welcome some kind of option to disable ASI with open > arms. Garrett's strict mode warning idea makes sense to me but I am fairly > certain that not everybody would welcome it. IIRC, it was Asen who first proposed that idea. COuldn't find the actual post, but: http://dmitrysoshnikov.com/ecmascript/the-quiz/#comment-8 It would also take some evangelism to explain to beginners who don't see the problems. Again, see stackoverflow. -- Garrett _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
