And that's being generous, javascript is a controversial language and the standards committee moves very slowly.
There are two types of languages: those that everybody complains about, and those that nobody uses.
Also, a slow standards committee is a good thing for languages, as it prevents the natural cancerous tendencies of PL wonks--just look at C++ or Scala.

- frowaway001 12y ago> as it prevents the natural cancerous tendencies of PL wonks--just look at C++ or Scala Not sure if your examples are supporting your point. Number of language features implemented in the last version: C++ -- Hundreds. Scala -- None. Number of language features planned for the next version: C++ -- Hundreds. Scala -- None.
