from what I can understand ES4 seems to bother some people is it because of fear of change, fear of competition, or whatever software politics, I don't know and I don't care
but I do know this, if me, the little guy, could access this mailling list, the different wiki, ask questions etc. why the hell microsoft and yahoo, or whatever other party being against this ES4 proposal could not just do the same and participate ? so sorry I don't buy the "ECMAScript must change its name" and I don't buy either the "ES4 is too large, blah blah , it change too much ES3". languages are meant to evolve, I waited long enought as a coder to see ES evolve, didn't liked at all the ES4 draft of 99, didn't liked the JScript.NET implementation, and didn't liked either the AS2 implementation, but what we have now in the current proposal is good, it really evolved in the right direction keeping the dynamism that I always loved in ES3, and I didn't see it evolve from yesterday it's been months all that is being discussed. And all that obviously in the open as I, the little monkey, could even read all that. zwetan ps: thanks a lot for Guy Steele's talk link :) _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
