Hi there, I was just reading John Resig's recent article titled "Re-Securing JSON" [1], and was wondering how this would affect ECMAScript 4. This led me to the "Compatibility Between ES3 and Proposed ES4" paper [2], which makes reference to the rational behind the change (or "bug fix", as it's referred to).
It strikes me as somewhat non-obvious that a top-level, self-hosted class in a meta-programmable language is read only due to security concerns. What's the side effect of locking down these classes?
