As a glimpse of the future, it’s not particularly encouraging.

For me, JS needs only a handful of things doubling down on its existing nature. Literals for symbols, sets and maps would be a great start.

If we’re getting fancy, persistent / immutable data structures would be fantastic, especially given how modern js is written.

A better standard library would be the cherry on top.
