Platform requests to TC39

  • IO streams. (Domenic is leading an effort on GitHub. This is high priority, like promises was last year.)
  • Asynchronous iteration (event streams?). (Database cursor, going through a directory, going through entries in storage, scanning TV channels.)
  • A plan around distinct Error types and detection (e.g. for APIs that can fail in multiple ways where you might want to recover from certain class of errors; think network APIs, databases)
  • A better way to define ES APIs than WebIDL. (Part of the problem here is lack of maintenance. So maybe it's as "simple" as finding someone.)
