When reading through the projects list of JS restrictions for "stricter" mode, I was expecting to see that it would limit many different JS concepts. But in fact none of the things which are impossible in this subset are things I would do in the course of normal programming anyway. I think all of the JS code I've written over the past few years would work out of the box here.
I was surprised by this one that only showed up lower in the document:
- Date: only Date.now() is supported. [0]
I certainly understand not shipping the js date library especially in an embedded environment both for code-size, and practicality reasons (it's not a great date library), but that would be an issue in many projects (even if you don't use it, libraries yo use almost certainly do.

Good catch. I didn't realize that there was a longer list of restrictions below the section called "Stricter mode", and it seems like a lot of String functions I use are missing too.
> String functions: codePointAt, replaceAll, trimStart, trimEnd.
As I read it, these are supported es5 extensions, not missing as part of stricter mode.
