  • TC39 Roundup Drama Edition Part II: JS0 and JSSugar
    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. Guy Bedford currently works at Fastly.

  • TC39 Roundup Drama Edition Part I: Shared Structs
    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.

  • The new stylable select element
    We're finally getting a  element we can fully control with CSS! A bunch of other stuff needed to be added to the platform to make it work, and the good news is we can use it a lot of them independently of . Resources: Chrome's article on the new , and how you can provide feedback. The CSS appearance property. Nope, I still don't know what it does. The Popover API. "On popover accessibility: what the browser does and doesn’t do" by Hidde de Vries and Scott O'Hara. The CSS anchor positioning API. The previous spatnav spec effort. The hidden attribute until-found value (sorry, I said if-found in the episode). The CSS element function. Timing of cloning for the  element. Animating to height auto.
