It’s worse than that. Not only are TC39 not fixing the language’s fundamental problems, they’re turning it into a frickin’ behemoth! Let’s look at the size of the language spec (PDF documents) for:
- ES3.0–191 pages
- ES5.1–258 pages
- ES6.0–566 pages
- ES8.0–885 pages!!!
These are all from ECMA.
Pretty soon, ECMAScript will give Common Lisp a run for its money as a huge, unwieldy language. Maybe it’s already too late…
