Aside from this, I wish JS would provide the ability to modify the scope chain - and it should be just objects that can inherit from one another through prototypes. I think it would be too perfect/clean to handle scope in the existing way we handle inheritance. My example isn't completely justified to say "I need this" - but I think having direct control over scope would be important in the future and should be considered for ES7. Especially if the existing way is not portable anymore... I don't think it would be a security concern either, as you could only make objects you have reference to your new scope. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
