I don't know what makes you think it is "a lot", but several companies that participate in the ES4 work are planning to ship on small devices. And they have been participating in the work in part to make sure that's possible. I can only speak for Adobe (if I can even do that); we believe that ES4 will work in browsers on phones. Anyhow, subsets are pretty pointless on the public web. An implementation that wants to play needs to support the full language. ECMAScript 3 has a compact profile (no eval, no Function constructor, and no "with" statement IIRC) but it has no relevance at all on the web. --lars _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
