Will TC39 have Observables?
Mathias Bynens
I work on V8 at Google and on ECMAScript through TC39. ♥ JavaScript, HTML, CSS, HTTP, performance, security, Bash, Unicode, i18n, macOS.
The Observables proposal for ECMAScript has repeatedly failed to advance at TC39. Some committee members believe it’s not a great fit as a language feature at the JavaScript level.
There is now an effort to standardize Observables at the DOM level: https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/544
