What's Coming Next to JavaScript?
summary
ES2024 is approved and browsers already ship concrete features: string utilities like String.prototype.isWellFormed and String.prototype.toWellFormed, new Unicode-aware RegExp flags, Object.groupBy and Map.groupBy after compatibility rewrites, Promise.withResolvers, transfer and resizable ArrayBuffers plus Atomics.waitAsync for worker coordination. Upcoming and partial work includes JSON imports with import with (Chrome/Safari/Firefox rolling out), a heavy-implementation Temporal date/time API still not widely shipped, Stage‑2 module decorations and a proposal for decimal numbers and Intl MessageFormat for localization.
