    • TC39 Roundup Drama Edition Part II: JS0 and JSSugar

      TC39 Roundup Drama Edition Part II: JS0 and JSSugar
      Dec 16 2024

      In this episode, Surma talks about a presenation-maybe-soon-to-be-a-proposal "JS0", which explores the idea of splitting JavaScript into two specifications: JS0, focusing on security, performance and capabilties, implemented by engines; and JSSugar, focussing on developer productivity and syntactic sugar features implemented by build tools.

      Notes & Corrections:
      • Yes, I know, people still do have to step through assembler. But I stand behind the essence of my point: The debug symbols for compiled languages feel very reliable. We should be able to at least match that reliability in JavaScript.

    • TC39 Roundup Drama Edition Part I: Shared Structs

      TC39 Roundup Drama Edition Part I: Shared Structs
      Dec 3 2024

      In this episode, Surma talks about the Stage 2 proposal "JavaScript Struct", which introduces fixed-layout objects and the ability to share them between realms.

      Notes & Corrections from Shu:

      Surma was slightly wrong about why private fields were originally considered problematic for sharability. The problem occurs when a class can be evaluated multiple times:

      function makeClass() { return class MyClass { #priv; getPrivateField(instance) { return instance.#priv; } }; } const C1 = makeClass(); const C2 = makeClass(); const i1 = new C1(); const i2 = new C2(); // this throws! i1.getPrivateField(i2);

      This behavior makes it hard to compile private fields just as "slots" on an object, as clearly additional behavior is required. This is somewhat at odds with the goal of achieving a fixed layout.

      Also, launching is mid-2025 is very optimistic.
