This makes sense. I just want to make sure that the fundamental capability to subclass built-in objects is available via libraries for text/javascript, with the new syntax offering the more performant option for text/harmony. >> And of course this would also make it harder for IDEs and such to give good >> first-class syntax highlighting here, because the syntax for this would be >> ambiguous with user-created stuff. What kind of syntax highlighting would you want to offer? Distinguishing normal arrays from arrays with non-standard prototypes would be more difficult, but this doesn't seem like a common syntax highlighting need. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
