Backward Edge browser compatibility #243

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

Please, make backward compatibility for Edge browser in polyfill. They using non-capitalized letters and have less functions than firefox. For example have no "load" and "store" functions.

It's too early to require backwards compatibility for early drafts. Code using experimental features behind a flag should expect to break. As far as I know, neither Edge nor Firefox implement the current spec; the spec is settling down to stability only now. Once the SIMD.js spec gets to Stage 3 of the TC39 process, users can expect more stability.

It should be possible to create a third-party shim making the old Edge API available, but that's outside of the scope of this project.
