As I understood, this forum doesn't allow to add new features. If you want a new feature, you have to create a proposal on github yourself, even if you never read the ECMA documentation and know nothing about this process, no other way.
This forum is probably only for questions, for other things it is absolutely useless.
To be useful, there should be voting of TC39 members - for or against, and depending on this, adding a new feature.
We don't make decisions by voting.
You can absolutely discuss a potential new feature here - that way you can get a better idea if it's worth the effort to make a proposal, based on the reaction.
Ultimately, changes or additions to the language are proposed by members of the TC39 committee, and decided on during committee meetings several times a year. Non-members can contribute to proposals (you can be a "champion" of a proposal without being part of TC39), but the proposal does require at least one TC39 member to champion it.
So forums like this are useful for discussing an issue, and potentially getting a TC39 member interested in championing a proposal.
I know. That is why I say about this. I would like to see rejecting or accepting ideas. Not just nothing as now. I came for this.
Hm, I didn't know about this.
How do you reject or accept existing proposals if not by voting then?
TC39 operates on consensus - nothing advances unless there's zero objections to it.
Now I understand why many good proposals don't move for years.
1 person may block all.
How many members at all? The more members, the harder to achieve consensus.
There's probably 60-80 at this point.
Achieving consensus is difficult, but the process helps ensure we don't ship something we can never take back. It's better to go slow then to make something permanently worse.
