Is V8 unable to remove this because of old, poorly-written websites?
Can it maybe shut off if it detects strict mode or something? Seems wild to find this behavior in Node and evergreen browsers.
- Leszek 5y agoHaving it in there optionally would be even more awkward, and getting rid of it entirely isn't possible without changing the JavaScript spec /shrug
- int_19h 5y agoIt's part of the language spec.
- bilalq 5y agoRight. My question was to ask what it would take to remove it. Backwards compatibility is a concern, but could strict mode or some other flag be used to mark it as disabled?
