Yep, ES3. It was even possible to import Crockford's JSON library to call stringify() and other methods server-side. Add Ramda.js, tell Babel to transpile to ES3, and it's nearly modern ES6 fun. I hit a wall getting fantasy-land set up with the same "customize the .js source files a bit" approach, but it was a nice PoC for server-side JS. Where Google went forward and I stopped short was `eval` n' friends: exporting functions to run on the client. It felt pretty involved, and I was already juggling multiple "Is this even possible" doubts. rpeterclark/aspunit is super nice for unit testing Classic ASP [1], by the way. That let me abstract IIS VB Let and Set for dictionaries. Combined with the ability to fling function "pointers" around, which opened the way to calling functions by string, lets you support data-driven, custom workflows: Set o = CreateObject("MyCustom") .And("CustomFunc1") .And("CustomFunc2") Kind of a "solution looking for a problem" situation, though.
