Comment #1 on issue 2356 by [email protected]: alert() + prompt() +
confirm() family extension proposal
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2356
alert() and friends are features of the browser, not of the JS engine.
Also, V8 is not tied to being used in a browser, it is pretty much agnostic
of its embedder. The V8 bug tracker is therefore not the right place to
discuss proposed changes in this area.
As far as personal opinions are concerned, I'm not a big fan of modal
dialogs in general. They tend to be highly annoying, and they're definitely
more intrusive than non-blocking alternatives. Browsers have never needed
to show a modal "please wait patiently for the next several minutes, and
don't you dare trying to do anything in the meantime!" popup while they
were loading stuff in the background.
