IIRC Google actually experimented with the idea of an even stricter mode in V8 at some point but dropped it when it didn't materialize the perf gains they were hoping for. From a spec perspective, ES6 modules were a good milestone to "flip the switch" over to strict mode by default, but even with that being a fairly successful strategy (IMHO), it still left some nasty corner cases around the language (namely, there are now two distinct top level grammars, which led to the whole .mjs bikeshedding rabbit hole) |
