My assumption was that JS bitwise misses the advantages of speed and space-compactness of bitwise in other langs, since you only have 64 bit floats to work with, thus forcing conversion to int and back for any bitwise stuff. I haven't

My guess is that much of it comes from technologists and futurologists, who are over-represented online, and way over-represented on Reddit and HN. Perhaps we've even filter-bubbled ourselves a little bit here. In any case, the relat

I'm glad people are pushing the envelope on JS build tooling, and not giving in to the "we need to freeze the toolspace now" contingent. I feel like the mainstream build tools have been interesting, but nobody has got it all

I think that's the plan. Whatever the committee can agree on and ratify by December 2016 will be dubbed "ES 2016" and so on.

Depending on the browser, lots of things are already implemented, either generally available (e.g. `Promise`) or behind flags (e.g. fat arrows). This announcement just accelerates the adoption pipeline by reducing worry about spec changes.

This is nothing new. High-end investment firms absorb many top computer science grads every year, sometimes even pulling them away from their PHDs, but it doesn't seem to raise many headlines.

My worry is that with JavaScript-based stacks evolving so fast these days, monied interest in one way of doing things would ultimately be incentivized to suppress better ways of doing things, as they emerge.

Given that browsers, Node, and JavaScript are all rapidly evolving, lots of churn in the library and framework space is what I'd expect to see happening, and I'd argue should happen. The problem is bigger than just the rate of c
