JavaScript to be updated, strict mode finally in sight

This interview of Brendan Eich, CTO of Mozilla Corp, talking about ECMAScript Fifth Edition (next generation of JavaScript) made me really happy.

There are times where most JavaScript developers would kill to get a strict mode and to finally stop creating browser specific workarounds. Even to this day I have to implement some kind of browser checking for certain functions. Luckily this is usually only for IE 6 and below.

I also have to mention that most of the next generation browsers will have improved their JavaScript engines to give us some well deserved speed.

So as this post comes to an end I plead to anyone still using Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 2 or below; please upgrade :)

The sooner the better, and the cooler web apps you will be able to use.

    Det trista är väl att de flesta win 2003 server fortfarande kör med ie6… annars skulle man nog kunna skippa den helt i koden…
