I hate to sound like a broken record here but the JScript blog has been disappointingly sparse lately in regards to the language. How will this affect client/server side JScript and what impact will this have on Managed JScript?

I agree with the comments above. I think it makes immense sense to hold off a final release of Managed JScript until the fifth spec is finalized, but the complete lack of transparency in the Managed JScript process has been a little disconcerting. When Managed JScript was announced it was promising, but IronPython and IronRuby have completly eclipsed it. Whether in the DLR for Silverlight or ASP.Net futures, Managed JSCript has been intentionally hidden, which is a shame.

I presume that how CSS in IE8 got the bulk of attention from the IE team that JScript in IE9 will be getting a massive overhaul?

Granted there have been some reasonable additions and improvements to the JScript engine in IE7 and IE8. Then there is the issue of SVG support...how will adding it (and it has to be added) weigh against how much improvement will be made to the JScript engine in IE9?

SVG support in various browsers...

Right now the most important thing I need is importNode support which I'm having to rely on a hack for. IE9 related JScript announcements are pretty much in my top ten list of things I'm looking forward to this year, please don't disappoint. ;-)

@JAB3: as far as I know, Jscript and IE are actually independent modules - meaning that a single version of Jscript can run with several IE builds (for example, IE5, 6 and 7 could use the same Jscript 5.6 interpreter, eventhough they didn't all come with tht ne). The largest source of contention between the two would actually be how Jscript works with a browser's DOM model. And if my tests are any indication, the IE 8 DOM model has seen some tweaks (in Edge mode at least) that seem to hint at tighter controls.

In short, there could be a Jscript update in IE even before IE9 is out.

With IE8 out the door now, we can start to look ahead to what we need to do next. It’s too early for us to say anything concrete, but things like standards, performance, and compatibility weigh heavily in our minds. As our plans begin to take shape, we’ll update this blog.

That the browser makers will quickly incorporate the new standard, I agree. But until the new standard becomes Standard on user's browsers we are looking at a few years of good ol' cross-browser coding. How long until it's safe to use the new language features?

re: A Major Milestone in JavaScript Standardization

Adoption varies by browser. In my opinion (I have no scientific evidence for this, just general observation of how long things take before they reach critical mass): once the standard is ratified (which I think is likely this winter) you'll probably see all the various features and changes get into browsers and onto users' desktops over the course of 18-24 months.

wow - DOM Prototyping!... that's like so FIVE years ago! Thanks for finally, almost catching up to the rest of the modern browsers out there.

If you can get the millions of users off IE6/IE7 so that we can actually have a usable browser, then we can talk about being happy.

When will this revised ECMAScript specification be released for public review and testing in anticipation of final standardization? Anyone has some more info? Thanks Ilse
