Mozilla Extending Javascript?

Posted by Zonk on from the busy-little-devs dept.

Nomad128 writes "Mozilla's Deer Park 1 Alpha RC appears to have extended the Javascript spec for the first time in quite some time. New features include Array object methods "every" (logical AND), "some" (logical OR), "map" (function mapping), and "forEach" (iteration). They also appear to have added native XML support. Will this speed up the development of AJAX applications and give Moz a leg-up over IE7?"

    My dyslexic eyes first read "Mozilla's Deer Park" as "Mozilla's Dark Peer". I was pretty disappointed when I corrected myself. Having a P2P darknet with a XUL frontend would be pretty badass, after all.

    Oh well, time to RTFA.

    Great more exstentions, more media I want to block, ugh... Why can't anyone write something to block all of this stuff out, I don't want to see graphics, or animations, or hear sounds, I love Opera, and it is my browser of choice but I still have to deal with unwanted flash animations. I am stuck on 26.4 bps dialup, due to bad phone lines, and lack of avaliability for cable/dsl/direct wireless. I do not want or need to see more bloat in webpages.
    Ok, I am whining again, but you would whine too if you had to surf porn at 2.5 k/s.

    As a XUL developer I welcome...

    Was it just me or did anyone else finish that sentence with, "our javascript overlords" or some other such permutation?

    I might watch too much of The Simpsons.

    I believe that Xul actually welcomes the Gatekeeper and the Keymaster.
