I'm favoring program currently, even if the new syntax is used in just one (of N) functions declared or expressed in the program. We could be narrow and impute Harmony opt-in only to the nearest containing function (or failing that, program). That might help incremental migration, indeed, and it seems a more locally "reasonable" rule. But it may be that developers would benefit more from in-for-a-penny-in-for-a-pound. Hard to say without user testing. > In other words, the default is strict mode unless the code exclusively uses > ES5 syntactic constructs. Right, but we need to settle on the unit or scale of "the code". /be _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
