Ok, if you are just the messenger I won't shoot you ;-).
Of course, thanks to https://github.com/JSFixed/JSFixed we know you're relaying real messages, although noisy. I'm relying on @valueof, @rwaldron and others to sift out the signal.
Angst and exaggeration aside, there is a fair point here. JS is not evolving as fast as its libraries and compilers (hence Mozilla's research in Emscripten and LLJS). We need to do better, both on just communicating what we've already done (which often satisfies the angst-y folks), and in helping browsers show progress via prototypes that verge on de-facto and then de-jure standards.
Working on this, so is dherman (so are others). /be Brandon Benvie wrote:
It's not really my opinion. I spend all day playing with this stuff. But it's what I hear in ##javascript on freenode all the time and the general sentiment I see in blogs often enough. That the movement is slow enough, combined with cycle time of browser generations, that (from my observations) that people don't connect with how ES6 may benefit them because they never expect to use it, not within the forseeable future. Perhaps this is a misread on my part, it doesn't reflect what I personally think or do.
