That's because no one has proposed isEmpty for ES4. The only hit from this site-specific search: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Aecmascript.org+isEmpty is this: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php? id=es3.1:targeted_additions_to_array_string_object_date The function object name property has come up: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&hs=F6X&q=site%3Aecmascript.org+% 22name+property%22 See in particular the first hit: http://bugs.ecmascript.org/ticket/303 > The suggestions are > not even discussed in the context of ES 4. Are there any meeting notes > somewhere? Or IRC logs? http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php? id=es3.1:targeted_additions_to_array_string_object_date was created on 2007/04/15 with isEmpty as part of the proposal. Since ES4 is supposed to be a superset of ES3.1 I'm surprised this hasn't been proposed to the ES4 working group. Probably we're supposed to keep track of 3.1 proposals, and I (among others) have failed to do so. On the other hand, everyone has had trouble keeping up with what's current in the wiki. So we probably need both the 3.1 and 4 groups helping each other keep up, and I'm talking to 3.1 folks about this right now. So, the hope is that isEmpty will make it into new editions of the standard. I'm in favor, FWIW. /be _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
