The test for <code>reduceRight</code> was being run correctly, but the written code in the page only displayed <code>reduce</code>. I have fixed that now! Thanks! Svitlana,

In the latest official version of Google Chrome, version 2.0.172.31, it is not supported. It might be there in upcoming versions, though, and then I will update the compatibility table.

Opera only has partial destructuring support and I have added that information to my tests. Regarding E4X is an interesting idea, and I initially considered that. Haven't got around to it, but it will most likely be added in the future. Thanks for the suggestion! Dan, It is not to good, I agree. However, I'm glad they support DOM Storage and native JSON, though! Allen, Thank you! ECMAScript 5 is indeed very exciting, and it's good to see how it inspires web browser vendors. I will, most likely, have parts of it in future versions of the test. Also, thanks for the link to the test suite. Elijah,

However, you didn't mention anything about <a href="http://www.ecma-international.org/news/PressReleases/PR_Ecma_finalises_major_revision_of_ECMAScript.htm" rel="nofollow">ECMAScript 5</a>. This is the new standard for JavaScript that is already strongly influecing browser JavaScript implementations (for example Object.defineProperty is directly taken from ES5).

The most Opera supports is <code>[a,b] = [b,a]</code> and not much more. To be considered supporting destructuring, this last line of this code should be true: <code> function foo({a, b:c, d:[e, f]}, [g, h], [{i:j}]) { return a+c+e+f+g+h+j; }; foo({a:1, b:2, d:[3, 4]}, [5, 6], [{i:7}]) === 28 </code> No Opera versions correctly support destructuring. The most Opera supports is [a,b] = [b,a] and not much more.

function foo({a, b:c, d:[e, f]}, [g, h], [{i:j}]) {

Methods planned for are indexOf, map, filter, some and every. Hopefully it will be a useful equalizer for developing for IE!
