Comment #7 on issue 811 by [email protected]: support destructuring assignment
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=811
@yangguo: Currently, we have to rely on ugly constructions using with() or fiddling with array indices even though Mozilla's JS engines and Opera support an excellent syntax. node.js is pretty large V8 userbase and certainly not the only V8 userbase apart from Chrome/Chromium. Limiting V8's features based on Chromium/Safari seems silly to me. This feature is part of JavaScript 1.7 (http://goo.gl/sNZkg) - according to the top of this page, V8 is the "V8 JavaScript Engine", not the V8 ECMAScript engine. Even if it were - this feature is in the draft ES6 "Harmony" spec, of which many features are implemented in V8.
