Re: Re: Proposal: Allow Symbols behavior to treat entire Array as 1-instance variables

The committee has made it clear in their 2018 tc39 day III notes that they have enough sugar in the specification. Any further PRs are unlikely to be championed, so perhaps this is moot. -- Abdul S. ___ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org

Re: Re: Proposal: Allow Symbols behavior to treat entire Array as 1-instance variables

I don't understand; a = a.map(...) works fine--not something I would write, I tend to use single assignment style. Perhaps I misunderstood, because both of your examples produced strings, and you used the same ${} notation as template literals. Now,I think you want is some sort of syntactic

The document says both "The TC39 committee must approve acceptance for each stage." (which I read as, even if there's no entrance criteria) and "Such submissions must either come from members of TC39 or from non-members who have registered via Ecma International,", for one, but in practice,

They're not written down anywhere, and they change based on the makeup of the committee. However, in general, the wider committee strives to avoid complexity, and absolutely will demand a justification for adding anything to JavaScript, including for changing the *process by which changes are

If one is not sure why something would be useful, then one should not propose anything. Do you have a use case for this, or would it address an inconsistency in the language? If so, great, please share! If not, then there's not really anything to discuss. On Sat, May 12, 2018 at 10:02 AM, Abdul

Re: Proposal: Allow Symbols behavior to treat entire Array as 1-instance variables

Proposals always have a cost. Thus, every proposal *always* must justify why it's useful, or else it's never going to be worth making a change to the language. On Fri, May 11, 2018 at 11:25 PM, kdex wrote: > Well, if we really want to delve into linguistics, it's more the opposite

It doesn't sound like `Number.MIN_VALUE` is what you want, is it? You're asking for something like `Number.EPSILON`, but relative to `0` instead of `1`? On Sat, May 12, 2018 at 9:57 AM, kdex wrote: > Already available, just prepend a minus sign like so: > > ```js >

Already available, just prepend a minus sign like so: ```js -Number.MIN_VALUE ``` Yours would be much longer to type and brings no additional value. On Saturday, May 12, 2018 6:54:42 PM CEST Abdul Shabazz wrote: > Ok. How about Number.NEGATIVE_MIN_VALUE signature.asc Description: This is a

As polar opposite to Infinity, Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY, the Infinitesimal should be a smallest representable value greater than 0. Perhaps someone else could propose why this would be useful. -- Abdul S. ___ es-discuss mailing list

Proposal: Pilot-Wave -based execution flow

A pilot-wave or Pilot is a guiding wave on which other meta-waves can flow, such as a gravity-wave or graviton whose period-length is the entire universe. Pilot-wave -based execution injects the execution flow onto the Pilot, in a pipeline-based fashion. And, in the event the Pilot fails, the

I hate to say it, but I keep seeing the same dozen ideas surfaced over and over again here. We really should capture them in a HTML page with link targets. I'd like to see a format of: Q: I have this idea or I want this in the language... A: Hyperlink to a TC39 spec, a library or an explanation
