Query on ECMAScript 2021

Any idea why  ECMAScript 2021 is be available in Global scope?

And will ServiceNow start using this going forward? Will developers need to start learning this? In fact even the support admin team needs to know this in order to troubleshoot any issues I believe 🙂

Hi there,

 

Not sure if you are the same person posting this also on LinkedIn a few a days ago, similar question though.

 

Same answer I gave there: ask ServiceNow 😅. Random community members can't answer that question.

 

Kind regards,

Newer versions of JavaScript is only implemented in Scoped Applications. It's NOT available (yet) in Global scope.
