To be clear, we formalized much more than an operational core of the language. We've formalized a portion of the standard. We run and pass portions of the Mozilla JS test suite, which is only possible once you account for (some) standard library functions. For example, here is Array.prototype.sort: http://github.com/arjunguha/LambdaJS/blob/master/LambdaJS/src/BrownPLT/JavaScript/Semantics/ECMAEnvironment.hs#L169 (Claudiu apologizes for implementing insertion sort instead of quicksort. He's really lazy.) Arjun _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
