What's Coming Next to JavaScript? by Nicolò Ribaudo

JavaScript is continuously evolving, with new features coming every year. Some say that it happens to fast, but everybody wishes some specific proposal would be implemented by browser right now.

What new features can we use in 2024, and what can we expect soon? What are some more long-term proposed features that will have a potential huge impact of the ecosystem? We'll go together through these questions, while learning at the same time how JavaScript gets standardized!

I’m a developer who loves open source and JavaScript. I work at Igalia, where I help push the web forward, and I maintain Babel — the JavaScript compiler. I’m also a TC39 delegate and I’ve helped developing different JavaScript proposals over the years.

1. pipe operator
2. pattern matching
3. records & tuples
4. temporal

are greatly missing in JavaScript.

I guess I'll keep waiting for pipe operator and pattern matching

I'm very excited to know that JavaScript is going to have a Decimal type like C# and other languages also do. Very helpful when working with financial values.
I also liked very much the Intl.MessageFormat feature. Good things coming soon.

[kameshveerachamy]

Audio volume is very low. I couldn't hear the voice clearly. I saw the Isabela speech. It was good to hear. please check this issue.

[coffeemakir]

Bro I can't even keep up with all the changes on the Web

[lodoss]

Bring in real types and modern features call it javascript2 keep it separate from the old shit

[Daijyobanai]

What's the point of multi threading and raw memory optimizations when the bros are all using react? It's never going to be fast, lol.

[Zrgatul]

I hope next thing coming to javascript will be its removal
