Since ES3 doesn't have true "classes" at all I'm not sure I entirely agree, but I get your point in terms of the feel of the language. Granted, putting an end to acrimony is a Good Thing and not to be ignored, but somehow I don't see any magic bullet that possibly achieve that on its own :-) Let me put it another way: aside from changing the perceived "feel" of the language, what specific use cases would be made better, faster, more secure, more extensible, more reliable, etc. by such a change? _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
