For those interested in the roadmap for ECMA-262, here's the deal from the horse's mouth including the obligatory sideways kick at Perl 6. Building a computer language always turns out to be a remarkably eclectic business.

One intriguing suggestion, especially if it intersects the significance arithmetic proposals and debates on comp.arch.arithmetic:

...a new default number type, with arbitrary precision and something equivalent to decimal radix. Mike Cowlishaw has advocated and implemented his own flavor of decimal arithmetic, but it is not popular in ECMA TG1. Still, I bet we could make life better for many JS users with some innovation here.
