Modern javascript please?
I have asked this before a while back but could you please give some consideration to replacing the ancient JScript engine in TestComplete? It's quite annoying when I write something for a mode...

Add another vote please.
There are numerous other items missing that would be massively helpful to doing our jobs. Rather than being productive all day, I have to either come back to SB to reference obtuse function names, such as aqString (after finding out if they even exist) that try to re-create the same functionality that already exists in modern ECMA standards (and frankly, are better), or rewrite/find and extend the basic functionality.
I don't mean to be harsh and simply want for SB to succeed as a company, but with open source options growing for the DOM, I can only imaging they will be for the desktop as well - and then SB needs to be value added to compete in that world.
It is frustrating when you have a great idea of how to build out a library for a task at work only to remember that the JS you know from doing anything on the web (or in node.js) is mostly useless.
Examples (some of these are at least included):
- String protos
- Array protos (indexOf, forEach, etc.)
- Object protos (Object.create, etc.)
