‘JavaScript Needs More Helper Functions for Iteration’ — Many languages have a plethora of functions or methods for iteration, but many of JavaScript’s options came late and scoped to particular data types (such as Array’s new methods in ES6) and Axel thinks we need to go a lot further while comparing a variety of approaches.

V8 Release v9.3 — Recent V8 releases have been reasonably lean on new features, and so it goes with 9.3 which mostly gets faster compilation, Object.hasOwn (an alias for Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call), and the ability to attach error ‘causes’ to Error instances. It’s in beta until Chrome 93 (due in the coming weeks) and will appear in Node.js soon too.
