  • proposal-relative-indexing-method

    Discontinued A TC39 proposal to add an .at() method to all the basic indexable classes (Array, String, TypedArray)

  • For a proposal to be finalized, it needs "Two compatible implementations which pass the acceptance tests" (source). This can mean browsers but also includes transpilers like babel. Chrome - which also includes other browsers now like Edge and Opera - will often release stage 3 features publicly before finalized, and Firefox isn't usually far behind, or sometimes even first, as was the case with the currently stage 3 at() method for arrays. Safari is probably the one you have to worry about the most. They tend to be further behind, I think mostly due to their release cadence being longer. Safari, for example, doesn't yet support private methods whereas the other browsers have supported them for some time now. While private methods are stage 4, they are expected to be part of ES2022 which hasn't been published yet - the current being ES2021.
