08:59 | <Ashley Claymore> | the topic of checking web compatibility of new proposals came up recently. Am I right in thinking some browsers in the past tried to track this at runtime by placing a hidden 'hook' that could see if certain props were accessed? Or was that something from a dream? |
09:16 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | That was not a dream, if I recall correctly Firefox calls them "Use Counters" |

10:22 | <Ashley Claymore> | thanks both! Much appreciated |
