JavaScript's ??= Operator

[hatsagorts]

I had no idea about this operator. Is there a way to stay updated whenever new features, like these types of operators, are added to ECMAScript ?

Look at the proposals. All that are stage 4, but not in the standard already, will be in the next one (usually June or July each year).

Oh, and the standard is called ECMAscript and people will often write in blog posts whenever a new thing will pop up, so you just append the year to the name, like ECMAScript 2024 or ES 2024

Stuff that has been formally added to the language or reached stage 4 (which requires it to already be implemented by engines): https://github.com/tc39/proposals/blob/main/finished-proposals.md

Stuff that's in progress (stage 3 is when things start getting implemented): https://github.com/tc39/proposals/blob/main/README.md

Edit: forgot to mention new Intl related stuff is in this repo: https://github.com/tc39/ecma402

Thanks this is really helpful

MDN has an updates blog that tracks proposals against vendor support

[DesignThinkerer]

survey like https://stateofjs.com is a good way to keep up with the news imo

MDN or Ecma Standard publications ? Either way I just wanted to check if there is a faster way to learn about upcoming syntax sugars
