Sure, it's theoretical at this point but not unimaginable. Eventually everyone will be using "es6 syntax", and there are plenty of blogs and books around that explain the benefits of strict mode. > I don't see people using template literals for arbitrary strings... it could happen but it probably won't. Not everyone, but I think it's likely that some will. If you want to add a variable ref to a static string, for instance, it's simpler if you don't have to change the delimiters to back ticks. We can probably only speculate right now. > Mathias makes a good point also, it's not strings that equal the string 'use strict', it's exactly two possible arrangements of characters. And that's obvious to us, but won't be to everyone. I'm on my phone right now so it's hard to check, but I think you'll find more sources explaining the directive is a string literal than you would an arrangement of characters. My immediate reaction was that it wasn't worth it, but I kinda think that if it is easy enough to implement then any risk would be avoided by doing so.
