How many ES5 environments are still in use today?

[Isiah Meadows]

Yeah, LibreJS is a browser extension, not a runtime. (There exist
runtimes they support, e.g. SpiderMonkey.)

And I do agree the GNU people can be a bit out there. (I'm not
convinced that's the worst I've seen from them - look at the
Linux-libre stuff and some of the {L,}GPL political drama, especially
with v3.)
