Current status of ES6 "class" implementation.
Posted: 2017-12-05, 14:33
As the sole champion of Pale Moon at my web development shop, it has fallen on me to make this thread.
We just spent some time debugging odd JS behavior on one of our sites (they are very light on JS as a general rule) which only Pale Moon exhibits (tested working in Opera, FF, IE, Chromium, Chrome, Safari, and Edge). We narrowed it down to the seeming lack of support for the ES6 `class` keyword in Pale Moon.
I found this thread on the topic: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=14589&hilit=es6+class
I would have bumped that thread from January 2017, but it is locked. With all due respect, it seems to be 11 months since the last mention of this on the forum and the locked thread leaves tons of unanswered questions about the future of this feature. I'm not entirely sure what to expect with this as PM progresses. Is support not planned, ever? Or are we as forum members just not allowed to discuss it? Or what?
Either way, I'd like to see what the current state of things are in this area. We may have a work-around for our specific issue now, but I'd like to keep myself informed about the state of this feature in Pale Moon (hence this thread).
I realize support for this may be very difficult. I'm just wondering if there is a vague plan to eventually support this? Or a solid plan to eventually support this? Or is support ever to be expected? With this information, I can make better educated plans for our shop's future. Thank you.
