I'm so disapointed by the committee.
So many utterly useless or easily bootstrappable features and yet, no pattern matching and pipeline operator stage 3 proposals. 0 progress for so many years.
Lack of those roadblocks Typescript implementations.
ReasonML and KotlinJS will faster become practical general purpose web languages than committee would start doing something usefull.
- anonymoushn 5y agono coroutines no buy
- osmarks 5y agoGenerators are basically coroutines, aren't they?
- Cyberdog 5y ago> Lack of those roadblocks Typescript implementations. Is it JavaScript's job to improve the lives of transpiler implementers instead of improving the lives of JavaScript developers?
- epmatsw 5y agoI think they’re saying that TS won’t add the feature until JS does. Still kind of a strange take IMO, but makes a little more sense.
- YouthfulMarxism 5y agoFirst of all Typescript, is now more mainstream JS dialect than vanilla-js itself and, honestly, the only one i care about. And i thought it's kind of obvious for anyone, that until *JS* proposals are staged far enough - Javascript won't have those features too. There is a good reason why TS waits for the stage 3.
- halfmatthalfcat 5y agoIt took 6 years to ship ES6. We've now had a new spec iteration from every year after 2015. They are moving much, much faster and, having lived through ES5 to much pain and angst, I'm completely ok with them taking their time shipping these (very nice to have) features.
- IshKebab 5y agoI mean you still can't even call `find()` or `contains()` on an iterator. JavaScript developers just collect them into arrays. :-/
