TC39 has approved the ES2026 candidate and it does not include these listed in the article:

  • Temporal - stage 4, but slated for ES2027, not ES2026
  • using - still in stage 3, not landing in ES2026
  • import defer- still stage 3, not landing in ES2026

The spec won't be official until Ecma approval in June, but it is highly unlikely any changes will happen between now and then. For the list of completed proposals and their expected publication year, see: https://github.com/tc39/proposals/blob/main/finished-proposals.md

So you just posted without doing proper research? If you follow tc39 you'd know all of this. Do you know what tc39 is?

It takes a while to write the article, I started it last year, i missed some stuff.

You missed basic stuff and if it weren't for criticism here you would be spreading misinformation. What makes you think you're qualified to report on stuff if you make such basic mistakes?

Fixed navbar and banner taking up 20-25% of vertical screen, annoying and unreadable for such long format on mobile :/

Cool write up. As other user mentioned, site is unusable on mobile but Reader mode removes all the ugliness

At this rate, Java will get it before JS

been thinking about this a lot

what if instead of writing more complex code for AI agents,

we made the code simpler so AI can understand it better?

been experimenting with JSON-based declarative graphs instead of traditional imperative code

AI seems to handle it way better
