We started off with an older but\\nunderappreciated feature, ES Proxies, as Christophe just recently held a talk\\nabout those at the Fronteers Conference (Slides). Proxies allow to watch objects\\nlike in immer.js or like in Vue.js 3, or build traps in order to instrument\\nproperty access, or to do meta-programming.\\n\\n\\n\\nAfterwards we talked about how new features find their way into JavaScript, what\\nECMA is, what JavaScript, what TC-39 and the different \\u201eStages\\u201c means and why\\nJavaScript today is still a trademark of Oracle in the United States.\\n\\nAnd of course we also talked about these features:\\n\\n * private fields/methods (scattered acress three proposals)\\n * nullish coalescing\\n * optional chaining\\n * Promise.allSettled/any\\n * pipelines\\n * partial application\\n * first-class protocols\\n * numeric separators\\n\\n\\n[01:21:34] LINKS\\n\\nThis time we have two links for you:\\n\\nDELICIOUS INSIGHTS SCREENCASTS\\n\\nWe can really recommend Christophe\\u2019s screencasts. Right now there are four\\navailable for you to watch:\\n\\n\\n\\n * Git Core Concepts (this one is free)\\n * \\u201cGit undo\\u201d or the art of rolling back\\n * JavaScript: this is it (about the \\u201ethis\\u201c keyword)\\n * Writing Modern Async JavaScript\\n\\nThe later three ones are not free, but as listeners of this podcast, you get a\\n30% discount until January 15th, 2020, with this link:\\nscreencasts.delicious-insights.com/?coupon=WORKINGDRAFT-30-OFF.\\n\\nTHINK ABOUT! CONFERENCE 2020\\n\\nThe second thing, we\\u2019d like to promote is next year\\u2019s iteration of the Think\\nAbout! Conference. The inaugural 2-day-conference happened this year in Cologne\\nand not only were we blown away but the concept and contents, we also happened\\nto do five super interesting interviews there:\\nworkingdraft.de/category/on-tour/thinkabout19/.
