Not sure what you mean, here's a compatibility table: http://kangax.github.com/es5-compat-table/es6/ http://kangax.github.com/es5-compat-table/es6/
Doesn't seem to be "already here" by any reasonable definition of here. Looks like no one but Mozilla is adding stuff that aggressively. Knowing the companies, I'd say it's very doubtful that Apple or Microsoft implement much until ES6 is finalized.
- azakai 14y agoFirefox might be ahead, but Google is putting a lot of effort into it too as you can see in that chart. It isn't "here" as in all here, but parts of it are, and more are added all the time. My point was that just like HTML5, it's a gradual thing, at least for Firefox and Chrome - it's possible other browsers will hold off, as you say, although I hope not.
