Future App Model: 7 features coming in 2017 (Opening Keynote)
summary
Seven concrete features land or prototype for 2017: async iterators let for await loops replace manual reader loops; transform streams provide pipeThrough text decoding so fetch bodies become strings; identity streams combine cache and network without shuttling bytes through JS, improving latency; navigation preload removes a 100–200 ms service‑worker delay by starting network fetches in parallel; background fetch and navigation transitions prototype progress and smooth navigations. These demos run in Chromium and show measurable speed and code-simplification wins.
