For those of us who don't follow closely, how diverse is the membership of TC39? Are Mozilla, Safari, Edge, or other facets of the community well-represented, or is it just a front for the Chrome team?
- oldmanhorton 8y agoDifferent subcommittees have different representation, but it’s generally diverse at least amongst the browser vendors. Often non-vendor web companies like Facebook take part in discussion too, and the current spec editor is Kevin Smith, who works at Microsoft. I believe a major proponent of this specific proposal was Daniel Ehrenburg, who used to work for V8 but now works at a different company that contracts for all of the JS engines.
- detaro 8y agoTC39 has representatives of all major browser makers and various other companies doing web stuff.
- snek 8y agoAny company on this list[1] can send a delegate to a TC39 meeting, and at most meetings there are generally around 45ish people, from lots and lots of different companies and perspectives. A particularly important member to point out is the JS Foundation, which sends devs of babel, lodash, etc to TC39 meetings as well. 1: http://www.ecma-international.org/memento/members.htm http://www.ecma-international.org/memento/members.htm
