ES5+

[Philippe Elsass]

Hello,

What is the status of ES5+ support?

Like I wonder what exactly does '-D js-es5' do.

And I believe it would be beneficial to use native ES5 Array methods, when we can afford to be IE9+ compatible, instead of Lambda implementations (eg. where is Array.reduce?).

Right now, -D js-es5 removes some polyfills for Array (indexOf/lastIndexOf/map/filter) as well as fake console object for environments where it's not available (ie8).

As for Array.reduce and other methods present in JS, we can either implement them for every other platform (though flash doesn't have it natively) and add to our base Array class, or add something like js.NativeArray static extension class similar to cpp.NativeArray, so one could just do `using js.NativeArray` and have those extra methods available.

Feel free to open a discussion issue on the haxe repo.

Also, it gives JavaScript ninjas a compiler flag to switch on and instantaneously feel awesome! :D

Thanks, that would be nice describing that to the doc - I need to look into editing the manual now ;)

 Adding reduce to the Array class would be nice: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/issues/4637
