Thank you guys, I somehow missed that vital piece of information... Right after I sent the proposal I read Brendans blog post from October and found the info regarding returning arrays. Sorry for the noise. :) I'll read the specs more thoroughly and get back if I have any more concerns.
Anyhow I'll just drop my remaining top wishes for JS. 1) To have something like a static var for prototypes (or private if you prefer OO terminology). 2) Polymorphic functions, same name different signatures. Erlang matchers are cool btw. 3) keep it simple and clean looking (not like C++ or Java). Code should be readable / self documenting. That's about it! cheers!
