It sounds like you are not running in strict mode

Strict mode? I'm not running JS at all. I'm trying to read the TinySES grammar (and port it to scala).
"const" is listed as a keyword at https://github.com/Agoric/TinySES/blob/92f6766a1a392b82f85f5d4dc89f53f73ce4dee9/src/tinyses.js#L58
On "let", I missed the note at http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/8.0/#sec-keywords so I thought I could just start with the ES-grammar reserved words, except for the exceptions I knew about: "get" and "set". The other surprise mentioned in that note is "static", which should also be defined as reserved in TinySES.
Both "let" and "static" should be added to the RESERVED_WORD list at https://github.com/Agoric/TinySES/blob/92f6766a1a392b82f85f5d4dc89f53f73ce4dee9/src/tinyses.js#L51
Thanks for catching this!
Thanks for the spec pointers.
Overall, I'm struggling to understand how the bnf library handles keywords and IDENT
. Care to elaborate a bit? how does RESERVED_WORD
get into the mix? Perhaps add some in comments in the code, in order to promote TinySES to language implementors such as myself that are not steeped in JavaScript lore?
