I want to draw out one particular compatibility issue. The toString method on TypedArrays is redefined here. In accordance with the ES2015 spec, and analogously to Arrays, the behavior is to return the array elements joined by ",". This may break some tests which depend on coercing a TypedArray to a String and getting a particular value. Firefox has not yet made this change, and I don't know if any other browser has changed this behavior. Let me know if you are aware of any web compatibility risk.
