Rails spinoffs - Jun 2008 - JavaScript 1.8 Array.reduce()

Prototype currently overrides a method from the JavaScript 1.8
specification with a different behavior.

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference:Objects:Array:reduce

To use a similar behavior, reduceRight can be used. However, this does
not seem very good for future compatibility.

Also, I noticed that a few other methods get redefined, like map(),
every(), filter(), some(). I did not verify the implementation
details, but I would certainly prefer to use the browser''s native
implementation when available.

Are there any plans for these in future releases?

There are plans to deprecate prototype''s Array#reduce. Most likely in
1.6.1
