JS5 adoption was really strong. It was hyped with "JavaScript - the Good parts", and it was lean. Typescript inspired ES6 with syntactic sugar "class" keyword in a language that has prototype based inheritance ...hmm we will see. I dislike the recent forced influence of Microsoft to JavaScript.
- zerocrates 12y agoJavaScript: The Good Parts predated ES5, and certainly predated actual adoption. IE didn't support basically any of ES5 until 2011 with IE 9, and, for example, Safari didn't support bind() until 2012. Strict mode didn't appear until IE 10, Firefox 4, and Chrome 13. Those dates aren't so great even if you ignore that you'd often have to support the earlier versions for a significant amount of time anyway.
