MS の死んでるサービス

動かないのは選ばないからと無視していたが、そんなのも使いたい人の面倒も見なければならない OperaASA の人は大変だ。長いけど引用。

To emulate JScript in such detail the authors have stated that they need certain browser functionality. They use a Mozilla extension to the ECMAScript standard, the ability to define "getters" and "setters" for object properties. Opera does not support this functionality (mainly because it is non-standard - not in the ECMA specifications - and not widely used.)

上記のように解説した上で、Mozilla 愛好者に呼びかけている。

if you who are reading this are a FireFox-lover and standards advocate, go ask the mozilla.org crew some serious questions about why it is considered OK to embrace-and-extend ECMAScript. Isn't this a standards violation by another name? Getters and setters are worse than FONT or document.all - there isn't even a backward-compatibility story here. One single getter or setter definition in an object literal and the whole JavaScript library is unusable in other browsers. And you claim you're writing a standards-compliant browser??
