> "This means more time to implement JavaScript features" - yes, because JavaScript isn't getting enough features fast enough :-p

AFAIK Mozilla does not drive the evolution of ECMAScript (not on their own anyway), so it would be a way to provide new features faster, providing better feedback during phase 3 (and possibly even phase 2) and providing time to implement features they could not so far (e.g. ES6 TCO)




If they did we might have something closer to AS3 with optional typing and had it years earlier than the ES6/7 route has taken us.
