Yes, it will make currently valid coding styles invalid, but that's for the sake of a clean grammar. I modeled my rules off what Ruby allows, and I haven't really heard Ruby authors complaining about those rules. If what you said was true, then Ruby would not be growing in popularity, even if it has a different language genealogy. I can envision two clean options for strict mode: 1) mandating semicolons 2) modifying automatic semicolon insertion along the lines of what I propose I'm fine with either. _______________________________________________ Es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
