Website uses Mootools. Mootools messes with built-in objects. Language moves to change built-in object. Mootools breaks.
So what is to be done here?
How about leave it up to Mootools to release a new version that is compatible and the website owners can adjust their code accordingly.

- tragic 8y agoWebsites that are still running ancient mootools versions are almost by definition ones that are not operated by professionals and extremely unlikely to be updated. So - as discussed before - the result would be to break the very people (random Chinese restaurants in Connecticut or whatever) least likely to know it is going to happen, and least able to respond.
