I remember sitting outside a Mountain View Starbuck's with Lars Hansen, then at Opera, and Brendan Eich, then at Mozilla, and listening to Lars explain that he'd lost faith that ES4 was realistically implementable. I think that was the day I knew it was dead.
I spent years working on ES4 and I'm not sorry it failed (namespaces in particular were just a disastrously bad idea). The whole affair was a formative experience for me.
