ECMAScript Proposals

ECMAScript, the standard for JavaScript, is an evolving language specification, ECMA-262, and maintained by Ecma Technical Committee 39 - ECMAScript (TC39). Proposed changes go through four stages to archive approval for the next version of the standard that is currently released yearly. Status for proposals are tracked by the tc39/proposals repository README.

Axel Rauschmayer provides a useful guide to the coming features in the next version of the standard in his post Feature watch: ECMAScript 2018.

Typescript support for proposals is tracked here. Babel support for proposals is tracked here. NodeJs support for proposals is tracked here.
