Correct, it would not affect those implementations. ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

No, it wouldn't. C++ doesn't really know that a service is implemented in JS. ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

PSA: Deprecating JS-Implemented WebIDL
For reasons outlined in bug 1450827, the DOM peers have decided to deprecate support for JS-implemented WebIDL APIs. This means that new additions of |JSImplementation="foo"| are no longer permitted. If you maintain an existing JS WebIDL implementation, or are considering designs for a new API, please get in touch with me or another DOM peer to discuss alternatives.
