I would also like to point out that the ES6 array and generator comprehensions are very similar to the already existent Array.prototype.forEach() and Array.prototype.map() methods, both of which are not the most optimal at this point. Here's some relatively simple examples of this in ES6:
var x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; x = [for (let i of x) i*i]; // fat arrow function not implemented in any JS engine AFAIK var x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; x = x.map((i) => i*i); // valid ES5 and ES6 var x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; x = x.map(function (i) { return i*i; }); These syntax changes all but require more optimization of the algorithms for the Array.prototype.forEach() and Array.prototype.map() methods. I don't know, though, if array comprehensions allow for void returns inside the functions executed, because I haven't really gone in depth into that part of the spec. I know that Haskell does, but Python doesn't, and I don't know about any other languages for sure. Also, reading the spec doesn't really hint either way explicitly in the algorithm, but it implies that it should be possible. There is no mention of anything wrong with any return that the function called itself doesn't have errors (aka void and undefined returns might be permissible... I'll have to check with the mailing list). -- -- v8-users mailing list v8-users@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "v8-users" group.
