Proposals in this day & age, taking steps to the next stage
summary
Explains how proposals move from stage 0 straw man to stage 4: two browsers + Test262, with concrete criteria: stage 1 needs API and examples, stage 2 expects a Babel plugin, stage 3 runs in one browser behind a flag, March is the annual cut‑off. Lists features actually landing or stalled—object rest/spread, async iterators/observables, null propagation, dynamic import, temporal—and tools that enable them: Babel (use preset‑env), Webpack code‑splitting, Bluebird and RxJS, and WebAssembly as an alternative for SIMD.
