| 20:34 | <sideshowbarker> | I am trying to figure out how to resolve https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/5509 |
| 20:36 | <sideshowbarker> | given https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/pull/2125, would it be appropriate for me to remove the big red Deprecated warning from the MDN article at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/proto ? |
| 20:45 | <ptomato> | this is what was referred to as "icky" when we discussed it in plenary in September: https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/pull/2125#issuecomment-695881423 |
| 20:46 | <sideshowbarker> | ptomato: OK, yeah, I read the parts about “icky” in that issue discussion |
| 20:46 | <ptomato> | the "Deprecated" warning says "may only be kept for compatibility purposes", that seems accurate to the situation? |
| 20:46 | <ptomato> | (just my opinion, not an official stance) |
| 20:48 | <sideshowbarker> | OK thanks — yeah if Object.prototype.__proto__ is considered icky, then it seems appropriate for MDN to keep the Deprecated warning |
| 20:48 | <sideshowbarker> | (it had just not been clear to me that Object.prototype.__proto__ was in fact in the icky classification |
| 20:49 | <ptomato> | oh, wait, I'm not sure of the difference between "proto syntax" and "proto accessor", let me check the notes for the plenary |
| 20:49 | <sideshowbarker> | OK |
| 20:52 | <ptomato> | here's the discussion. https://github.com/tc39/notes/blob/master/meetings/2020-09/sept-21.md#move-proto-out-of-annex-b |
| 20:52 | <ptomato> | I'm still not sure after reading it whether that MDN page describes the "icky" item or the "non-icky" item. someone else closer to the discussion should weigh in 😃 |
| 21:31 | <bakkot> | The __proto__ accessor is still "icky". The syntax in object literals is not. |
| 22:00 | <sideshowbarker> | OK thanks — thee MDN article documents the accessor, so I’ll close the MDN issue out with comment that the warning will remain in the article |
| 22:03 | <sideshowbarker> | hmm, I wanted to cite the logs, but looking at https://view.matrix.org/room/%21wbACpffbfxANskIFZq:matrix.org/ now it seems there are no IDs/anchors in the logs… |
| 22:09 | <bakkot> | sideshowbarker: I am actively working on getting better logs going, so if you wait a day I should have something more linkable for you |
| 22:09 | <sideshowbarker> | ok, thanks, I‘ll wait |
