Kai Zhu, I think the problem is you see JavaScript has a scripting language for web pages. It is not. It is a fully-fledged language for writing full-stack applications, desktop applications, embedded applications, tools, and more. It is evolving and will continue to evolve. TC39 ensures -- and it's NOT easy -- that it remains backward-compatible. So as many, many have said: If you don't like the new stuff, don't use the new stuff. If others are using the new stuff and you're unhappy with that, I suggest you take it up with them, not this list. Separately: I find your repeated claim to be speaking for people other than yourself to be...not useful. You can have your opinion. Claiming it's more than that, however, weakens rather than strengthening your argument. (In _my_ opinion.) -- T.J. Crowder
