The language spec hasn’t been officially updated yet, but historically, additions in Jan tend to be it for the year.
I’m pretty sure BigInt and globalThis will make it in next year, since they’re already alive and working in Chrome. I’d like to think Class Public Instance Fields & Private Instance Fields and the others around that are going to be part of that 2020 update as well. It seems time, and the changes to the Decorators proposal is reflective of that.
The new decorators proposal, btw, while much more complicated, is also quite a bit more powerful and provides a powerful hook into manipulating class definitions. I’d like to see them standardized sooner, but they’re probably a ways off.
