ESNext: Proposals To Look Forward To

Talkat JSNation Live 2020 · 2020-06-18..06-19· [javascript]
slides:none on file

Covers concrete ESNext proposals and their behavior: optional chaining (?.) short‑circuits to undefined instead of throwing, nullish coalescing (??) preserves falsey booleans, logical nullish assignment (??=) assigns only when a value is nullish, the decimal literal with an m suffix makes 0.1m + 0.2m === 0.3m, the Cancellation API uses an AbortController to cancel promise work (an existing vendor feature), and pattern matching inspects object/array shapes to pick the exact computation.
