What Hacker News says

4 sources
Many of these are at stage 3 of the standardization process and have a good chance of shipping soon: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers (They're not on objects, which I think is probably for the best; every method on Object.prototype is a shadowing risk and so we're unlikely to see any besides the ones that already exist. You can always use Object.entries; if your object has so many dynamically-computed properties that eagerly collecting them is a performance concern, then it should probably be a Map.)
In JavaScript weakmaps should be iterable
Shout out to JavaScript massively delaying https://github.com/tc39/proposal-async-iterator-helpers in the 23rd hour. The proposal seemed very close to getting shipped alongside https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers while basically accepting many of the constraints of current async iteration (one at a time consumption). But the folks really accepted that concurrency needs had evolved, decided to hold back & keep iterating & churning for better. I feel like a lot of the easy visible mood on the web (against the web) is that there's too much, that stuff is just piled in. But I see a lot of caring & deliberation & trying to get shit right & good. Sometimes that too can be maddening, but ultimately with the web there aren't really re-do-es & the deliberation is good.
