WebAssembly is a neater target format, but we can already compile to JavaScript today.

Overkill for what was never intended to be a sandbox for untrusted code. The “sandboxing”, like Django templates’, Jinja, Nunjucks, etc. is a well-intended measure to keep logic out of templates, but in practice only really gets in the way

It looked like documentation and had no clear benefit over MDN. If it wasn’t just documentation, a terrible job was done in communicating that.

Browsers already support arrow functions (and did before Node), but there’s no reason to break compatibility with old browsers just to get arrow functions. If that’s the only thing you’re transforming, my advice would be to stop and just us

Any language is stateless until you explicitly share state; the other languages just make it easier to share state. It’s not a bad design decision – makes them more versatile, or at least more cleanly usable outside of serving webpages – bu

The main behaviour is to add the DNT: 1 HTTP header. The JavaScript APIs are just a bonus to perhaps avoid sending unnecessary information. (But yes, it’s still a silly feature, because having to go out of your way at all to respect DNT isn
