I feel like browsers shouldn't tout compatibility with a version (be it ES6 or ECMAScript 2015). They ought to tout a test262 score. Unfortunately, "We score 90% on test262!" would be a really bad ad. Roughly nobody knows what test262 is associated with. I feel we should rename test262 as well. Maybe simply "The JS Browser Score". Developers know what JS is. Suggestions welcome. As a side-note, I expect test262 to be versionless (or rather, "the latest version available, with more tests coming in). Currently, <http://test262.ecmascript.org> mentions ES5.1. Am I right to believe it will be bumped to ES 2015 when it comes out? Should work begin on a new branch in here: <https://github.com/tc39/test262>? I for one would be happy to start working on it. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
