Glen, I said "I don't recommend it" (as my personal opinion), I never said it can't be done. The reality is that we don't know yet how are we going to introduce new features after modules become ubiquitous, maybe new features will come in the form of modules that you have to require, and to polyfill new features you just need a synthetic module that exports the right API, we just don't know yet. But polyfills, in their current state, are simply runtime patches, and using them should NOT require a module system as today, they are effectible scripts. That does not means you can't write polyfills using ES6 syntax, you can, just transpile them to scripts :) /caridy _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
