Indeed. The V8 team is committed to Harmony. But obviously, it is not the only thing we are working on, and it is a significant amount of work that will take time. The highest prority currently are modules, which are more important than, say, destructuring, because they are less well understood and having the implementation experience is important for the spec as well. There is no concrete roadmap for other features, but destructuring is relatively high on the list. For a variety of reasons, we will not remove the harmony flag for features before they have proved stable enough. On the web, a bug in the implementation of something as intrusive as proxies can be a serious issue, for example. On the other hand, there is no reason why `node' cannot build/run V8 with the flag turned on by default, if they wish to (or the users pressure them ;) ). /Andreas _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
