ES.Next Proposals
9th Edition - ES.Next
Stage 3 (Candidate)
===================
1. SIMD - Single Instruction Multiple Data
http://www.2ality.com/2013/12/simd-js.html
https://github.com/tc39/ecmascript_simd/blob/master/tc39/SIMD-128%20TC-39.pdf
In a nutshell:
Allows arithmetic and other operations on vectors of data simultaneously.
2. Function.prototype.toString revision
http://tc39.github.io/Function-prototype-toString-revision/
http://www.2ality.com/2016/08/function-prototype-tostring.html
In a nutshell:
Requires Function.prototype.toString to work like it does in Chrome
3. Template Literal Revision
https://tc39.github.io/proposal-template-literal-revision/
Drop all syntactic restrictions related to escape sequences in tagged template literals to allow weird unicode and hex stuff that would otherwise be a SyntaxError.
e.g. tagFunc`\unicode` throws right now, but won't after this change.
4. global
https://github.com/tc39/proposal-global
5. Object Rest/Spread Properties
https://github.com/sebmarkbage/ecmascript-rest-spread
6. Async iteration
https://github.com/tc39/proposal-async-iteration
7. Dynamic import()
https://github.com/tc39/proposal-dynamic-import
How well supported are these things in browsers?
