Okay but it’s in the documentation which ruins your whole “abandonment” argument.

Even still, they clearly have their own use of JavaScript, albeit not “canonical”, whatever the author meant by that bitter refutal.

I don’t really understand the argument either. GraalJS is an implementation of ES2023 with additional features from graal on top.

Just because its implementation wasn’t originally for a web browser makes it not “canonical”?
