Couldnt we just have an object called String2 with a replace method that replaces all occurances without any regex at all? Like in any other language? We could fix entire Javascript just by adding two to all object names.
This strip is about creating unifications based on two things that are not standarized. While the idea is to make a new JS branch that will solve issues gathered through years. So the strip does not apply here. Also, while it has some point with extreme unification efforts, there is a vast range of unification projects that actually delivered what they promised to.
