	Weak References? by Jeff Watkins :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Has there been any talk about adding Weak References to EcmaScript? If so, forgive me, because I missed it. This would be a huge help for implementing client-side caching (and other things, I'm sure). -- Jeff Watkins http://metrocat.org _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@... https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss

Yes, there has been. Searching site:wiki.ecmascript.org "weak reference" shows some hits. The current place to look is a stub: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:strawman Mark Miller is developing a proposal here, which I said yesterday at the TC39 meeting "sounds great!" Look for it to show up where the dangling http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:weak_references link points from the strawman page. /be > > This would be a huge help for implementing client-side caching (and > other things, I'm sure). > > > > -- > Jeff Watkins > http://metrocat.org > > > _______________________________________________ > es-discuss mailing list > es-discuss@... > https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@... https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss

A first draft proposal is now there. I hope it lives up to your expectations ;). -- Cheers, --MarkM _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@... https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
