For questions about upcoming ECMAScript features that are not scheduled to be part of a specific version yet (anything that is a stage 3 or lower proposal).
Proposals for new ECMAScript features follow a specific process, where they go through the following stages:
- Stage 0 (Strawman)
- Stage 1 (Proposal): The committee expects to devote time to examining the problem space, solutions and cross-cutting concerns
- Stage 2 (Draft): The committee expects the feature to be developed and eventually included in the standard
- Stage 3 (Candidate): The solution is complete and no further work is possible without implementation experience, significant usage and external feedback.
- Stage 4 (Finished): The addition will be included in the soonest practical standard revision
Proposals in stage 4 are definitely added to one of the next releases of the language specification. This tag is for questions about proposals in stage 0 - stage 3.
