The Ecma Technical Committee 39 (TC39) has advanced several proposals, culminating in three significant new features for JavaScript: Array.fromAsync, Error.isError, and Explicit Resource Management. Array.fromAsync simplifies the creation of arrays from asynchronous iterables, while Error.isError offers a dependable method for checking error instances across different contexts. The Explicit Resource Management proposal introduces a 'using' declaration to handle resources that require explicit cleanup, addressing inconsistencies and alleviating common pitfalls. Other notable proposals include Import Attributes and enhancements for error handling in promises, reflecting an ongoing effort to refine JavaScript's functionality.
The new Array.fromAsync utility simplifies array creation from asynchronous iterables, streamlining data collection from sources like generators, thus enhancing JavaScript's asynchronous handling.
Error.isError() provides a reliable way to check error instances, improving upon the unreliable instanceof Error approach, especially for cross-realm scenarios like iframes.
Explicit Resource Management introduces a using declaration for improved cleanup of resources such as files and network connections, addressing inconsistent management patterns across different contexts.
Import Attributes allow developers to include metadata in import declarations, enhancing clarity regarding the module type expected, like JSON or CSS, promoting better module management.
