Finally, the Apple folks are getting around to adding their thumbs up or down to the list of ES4 proposals.
They "applied red rather more liberally than the other vendors", as they themselves put it. They made some interesting votes: No "like"?, no "Namespace"?, no Function.bind?, no "let"? Unfortunately, they red inked the proposals related to adding meta object support. On the other hand, they red inked Nullability and Non-nullable classes, which doesn't make me cry.
Forthcoming at the end of this week will be a whitepaper explaining the criteria they applied along with the rational behind the votes on proposals where Apple's position differs from the one of other vendors. Until then, there is only so much that can be read into those red flags.
