Congrats to @rbuckton on conditionally advancing Explicit Resource Management to Stage 4 at TC39 today 🎉
It introduces `using` declarations and the Symbol.dispose protocol to deterministically and ergonomically release resources 👍
I'm happy to announce that Explicit Resource Management has (conditionally) advanced to Stage 4 at TC39 today.
Advancement is pending final PR approvals on the spec text and a few outstanding Test262 tests.

LinkedIn locked my account for some reason and it's going to take several days to sort out. If you're trying to reach me there, you may want to try on here or on bluesky instead.
After 18 years at Microsoft, with roughly a decade of that time working on TypeScript, I have unfortunately been let go in the latest round of layoffs. I need to take a few days to process before I start looking for work. Thanks to everyone who's been part of my journey so far.

Congrats to @rbuckton on advancing the Enum proposal to Stage 1 at TC39 today 🎉
This aims to bring the good parts of TypeScript enums to JavaScript plus enhancements such as new datatypes & potentially runtime performance improvements 👍
'enum' is now a Stage 1 ECMAScript proposal: github.com/rbuckon/proposal-…

Congrats to @rbuckton on advancing Extractors to Stage 2 at @TC39 today 🎉

It allows you to run arbitrary code during destructuring. This permits validation and normalization of values.
