Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

JavaScript continues to evolve rapidly. The TC39 committee has advanced nine proposals, including the newly standardized explicit resource management feature using the using keyword for automatic cleanup, and Array.fromAsync for handling async iterables. Other notable developments include candidate features like immutable ArrayBuffers, draft proposals for deterministic random number generation and number clamping methods, and early-stage proposals for improved internationalization formatting and comparison utilities.
