Modern web frameworks work with one-way data flow. What is displayed on the screen is a function of the application state, and updates to that state only update the particular part of the DOM to which it relates. Through their own paths, many other web frameworks have arrived at solutions which are analogous to each other, often called “Signals.” Now, a group of signal library authors and maintainers of front-end frameworks are working together in TC39 to standardize some of the core data structures and algorithms that will be required for JS implementations of Signals, and we could use your help pushing JavaScript forward.

This talk has been presented at JSNation US 2024, check out the latest edition of this JavaScript Conference.

Welcome to the future features of JavaScript, including proposals for array operations, throw expressions, records and TPUs, pipeline operators, and more. The talk covers the introduction of type assertions for imported files, non-mutating array operations, and the simplification of error handling. It also explores the concept of immutability with records and TPUs, and the use of the pipeline operator to simplify code. Other proposals include Map.implace, IteratorHelper, slice notation, type annotations, Array UNIQBY, number ranges, and the Function 1 proposal.

The Talk discusses various proposals for the next version of ECMAScript (ES Next) and the TC39 process. It covers features such as binding syntax, shorthand property assignments, pattern matching, async match, operator overloading, and more. These proposals aim to simplify code, make it more readable, and introduce new functionalities. The Talk also addresses questions about the committee's decision-making process and the experience of being part of the TC39 committee.

ES Next proposal stages include straw person, proposal, draft, candidate, and finished. Optional chaining and null coalescing operators are solutions for handling undefined and null values. Logical assignment and null coalescing operators are seeking advancement to stage four. Decimal type is introduced to address floating point math issues. Cancellation API and abort control are solutions for canceling promise execution. Pattern matching allows matching the shape of a vector and performing actions based on it.
