yep, that's awesome ... too bad not a single engine exposed yet such easy change ever for both V8 and/or SpiderMonkey since everything is already in place, only the public method exposed to JS is missing (and for V8 I've already porposed a patch to drop the poison pill but nothing happened ...)
I just hope V8 will do this change before node.js will be out in its "final" 1.0 version and looking forward to see FF nightly and mobile adopting that too. br On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 8:31 AM, Rick Waldron <waldron.r...@gmail.com>wrote: > > > > On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at 10:50 AM, medikoo <medikoo+mozilla....@medikoo.com > > wrote: > >> Object.setPrototypeOf is really needed. >> > > From the meeting notes: > > Conclusion: __proto__ is an accessor on Object.prototype.
