JS Error `No identifiers allowed directly after numeric literal` when running http://ajennings.net/pi.html http://ajennings.net/pi.html on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6, Safari 12.1.2 (14607.3.9)
- MildlySerious 7y agoSafari does not support BigInt yet it seems.
- oehtXRwMkIs 7y agoSafari seems to be consistently behind these days, not sure why.
- LeoPanthera 7y agoApple seems to be the only browser developer that makes user-centric changes first, not developer-centric. I'm OK with that.
- hnaccy 7y agoGiven their $$$ seems like they could do both. I don't think BigInt is some adtech anti-feature.
- nicoburns 7y agoSafari also does releases less often than Chrome/Firefox. They are behind, but not by that much.
- wp381640 7y agoGiven the recent influx of iOS exploits that have centered around WebKit they should probably adjust that priority
- Thorrez 7y agoWill adding developer-centric features help reduce vulnerabilities? Generally adding any feature would increase vulnerabilities because of the increased surface area.
- recursive 7y agoIt seems user-centric to you know... make the browser work for what users what to use it for. Like generating digits of pi.
- nacs 7y agoYes I'm sure there's a lot of consumers that want to calculate large amounts of digits of Pi in their browser..
- recursive 7y agoI didn't say that. You're moving goalposts anyway. Calculating pi isn't the only use for big ints. The more practical application is maybe crypto or something. But some users want to do it.
- adam12 7y agoThey are afraid the browser is going to kill their cash cow.
- tonetheman 7y agoMeh Safari is the new IE...
- Tepix 7y agoAlso broken on Mobile Safari / iOS 12.4.1
