After the big dump of new features in ES2015, I don't find the pace of planned updates to the language aggressive at all. JavaScript is still playing catch up.

People will complain if they don't add features. When they do add new features, people complain that they're "bloating" the language or moving too fast. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

The JS ecosystem is a different matter.
