What is proposals?

This repository is a public tracking board for proposed changes to JavaScript, the programming language that powers websites and web applications. It monitors proposals that could become part of ECMAScript, the official specification that defines how JavaScript works. Proposals move through a four-stage review process. Stage 0 and 1 are early ideas being explored. Stage 2 means the committee expects a feature to eventually be included in the official standard. Stage 3 proposals are nearly finalized, undergoing testing before they officially ship. Once approved, proposals move to the finished list, and abandoned ideas go to the inactive list. JavaScript developers, browser engineers, and technical leaders use this tracker to see what features are coming to the language. For example, a developer might check it to learn about Temporal, a proposal to improve how JavaScript handles dates and times, or Decorators, which would add a new way to modify how code behaves. The repository also lists the authors and champions who advocate for each proposal through the standards committee. This project is notable for its transparency. Rather than decisions happening behind closed doors, anyone can see which features are being considered, who supports them, and when they were last discussed by the committee. The README links to a formal process document and contribution guide, making the path from idea to standard visible to the public.
