Góðan dag TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of:

Further details (optional):

  • Relevant time constraints or deadlines: We will discuss this proposal in the June 4 2019 TC39 meeting; TAG feedback before then would be appreciated (but it's understood that this request is at the last minute).
  • [ x ] I have read and filled out the Self-Review Questionnare on Security and Privacy. There are no security/privacy issues, as this proposal only affects execution timing/coodination within JavaScript.
  • [ x ] I have reviewed the TAG's API Design Principles

You should also know that...

The introduction of asynchronous modules may be interesting to the TAG, as modules can now take a broader role in asynchronous loading, including various kinds of loaded resources.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please select one):

  • [ x ] open issues in our GitHub repo for each point of feedback
  • open a single issue in our GitHub repo for the entire review
  • leave review feedback as a comment in this issue and @-notify [github usernames]

Please preview the issue and check that the links work before submitting

For background, see our explanation of how to write a good explainer.

Ken: this is a tc39 spec - about to be implemented in v8. They've been good at following up on the comments we made. Only big comment i had - now when importing something it can be async without you knowing. .. They have considered the feedback - i think we can close this.
