I still find this ridiculous. Just because one (now obscure) library breaks on it, javascript itself must be changed. That's like changing all dirt roads to tarmac, so that this one single car no longer breaks when driving them.
I didn’t think there was an existing flatten function that we were changing
Doesn't make it any less ridiculous. How the fuck is MooTools able to change the way javascript evolves?!
I mean not how in a technical sense, but how in a politcal sense. More like why is MooTools allowed this exception?
It definitely sucks. But at the end of the day, Javascript is at the mercy of the browser vendors. Browsers have incentives to not implement functionality that might break old sites, in which case we end up with fragmentation again.
They absolutely do, and I think TC39 balanced this decision well. .flatten could've broken a non-trivial number of sites, and there was a trivial change available (use .flat instead) that wasn't a conflict.
Well, 1) Old websites break all the time 2) It's *mootools*. Noone uses it anymore 3) It's breaking because of nothing but bad practice (monkey-patching & for..in) 4) It's easy to fix mootools I understand the decision though. I'm just not agreeing with it.
Fixing MooTools doesn’t solve the problem. https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/03/smooshgate#fix-mootools …
Snd have users update to the fixed release, of course. Not always viable, but if the site is still in current use, it will happen.
