I honestly don't understand what great feats of technical debt removal or code simplification browser devs are hoping for after removing alert() etc. JS engines will still need the ability to stop-the-world, unless they want to get rid of breakpoints next.<p>I'm also of the opinion that chrome devs should first try to write a "javascript for absolute beginners" tutorial before giving sage advice what such a tutorial should teach and what it shouldn't.<p>... though I can sort of understand the viewpoint. From a browser developer's PoV, you could probably never be too early in teaching about the event loop, promises, callbacks and async/await. Except that this seems at odds with how programming and JS is actually learned by users.<p>This reminds me a bit of the Java language design, where you're in theory supposed to understand classes, objects and static methods before you can even write a "hello world" program.
