Hi Andreas,
Well, it is as of ES 6.0. For the most part, Nashorn still is only 5.1
compliant with few ES6 items thrown in jdk 9.
Also, my answer was generic in the sense that there are function
properties available which are not in prototype [because of java extension].

@Andreas: But Nashorn on JDK 8 does not implement ECMAScript 6.

Hi Sundar,
startsWith is part of ECMAScript:
http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-string.prototype.startswith
Not widely supported...

Hi,

"startsWith" is not an ECMAScript standard specified property of
String.prototype. In Nashorn, you can call methods
Hi
I am not sure if this is a bug or feature of the Nashorn engine. But
it looks like some String-prototype methods are missing, yet the
methods are somehow present when used in the right way.
Minimal example: calling `startsWith` by using `call`:
```
1 $ jjs -v
2 jjs> String.prototype.startsW
