(I assume you mean `new^`? You keep saying `this^` here and in other messages so I wonder if you've had a shift in thinking.) At this point my only real argument for implicit `this = Object.create(new^.prototype)` is that it's what happens with function-based inheritance. I agree with Dmitry that there probably is no good default so I guess I just find taking cues from what functions do to be the best guidance. But requiring explicit initialization seems fine too. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
