It would replace a feature that many consider to be broken with a feature that we hope will work better. Most JavaScript programs would not notice if we changed the underlying type to integer. The most common operations on intentionally real numbers are on money and percentages. Those programs would benefit from a non-disruptive decimal option. There are too many loose threads for the ES3.1 window. I hope we can get this stuff resolved in Harmony. _______________________________________________ Es-discuss mailing list Es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
