- Focus work on ECMAScript 3.1 with full collaboration of all parties, and target two interoperable implementations by early next year.
- Collaborate on the next step beyond ECMAScript 3.1, which will include syntactic extensions but which will be more modest than ECMAScript 4 in both semantic and syntactic innovation.
- Some ECMAScript 4 proposals have been deemed unsound for the Web, and are off the table for good: packages, namespaces and early binding. This conclusion is key to Harmony.
- Other goals and ideas from ECMAScript 4 are being rephrased to keep consensus in the committee; these include a notion of classes based on existing ES3 concepts combined with proposed ECMAScript 3.1 extensions.
The important part is the new set of goals for this, now dubbed, ECMAScript Harmony project:
-
you can forget a lot of what you learned about ECMAScript 4, previously. Many of the complicated concepts contained in the language have been tossed. Instead there is a considerable amount of effort going in to making sure that new features will be easily duplicable through other means.
-
there has been some important progress made here. Seeing an agreement between all of the largest players in the ECMAScript space (Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple, Opera, Google, Yahoo) is quite historic and will stand to serve users well.
