Comment #3 on issue 1829 by [email protected]: Harmony scoping should
enable strict mode
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1829
Hi Andy,
our current plan is to change the behaviour soon. However, instead of
parsing everything in strict mode, we will allow the harmony scoping
features only to be used from within strict code. So rather than entering
the strict mode you sort of enter the proposed extended mode. That way you
can still use your favourite existing libraries while still being able to
play with new features.
While I would certainly like to disallow mixing of harmony features with
non-strict code in any way, this might not happen for ES.next in order to
ensure compatibility with existing code and also to make it as easy as
possible to port it. This is also what the current draft seems to suggest,
because AFAICS it does not explicitly disallow using some outer non-strict
code with inner extended mode code.
Cheers,
Steven
