In most of the web you still have to compile, minify, and transpile everything anyway since IE11 has a choke hold on that last 10%.

It would be lovely if all the browsers could match standards but some things are just too young. As they get tested and hardened the market will come together on standards for all the hot newness.

I’d rather wait and get it right than get into the backwards compatibility mess that php did. mysql_really_real_for_sure_this_time_escape_string()

In all of these comments the thing I’m having the most trouble with is the phrase “hot newness”. I am sure “new hotness” has greater than 70% market share but now I have FOMO.
