Divide and Conquer? - Exploring the 'JS0' and 'JSSugar' Proposal for JavaScript Evolution

In October 2024, a language evolution proposal was submitted to the TC39 Javascript Committee meeting. In it, a new vision for JS as a whole is shown, one in which the language is seemingly split in two - a core ""JS0"" and an extended ""JSSugar"". What is this about, why did it come up at this point and what does it mean for us as JavaScript developers?In this short talk, we'll go over the proposal, exploring what it tries to accomplish, how and its potential pros and cons from a neutral, community-first perspective.
