TC39 is the committee which defines the JavaScript standard. JavaScript developers have been telling us for many years that they need weak references and finalizer callbacks: These capabilities let programs hook into garbage collection to free up related resources. After several years of debate and refinement, TC39 has settled on a design for WeakRefs and FinalizationGroups which has reached Stage 3 in its process and will likely soon be shipping in browsers and Node.js. In this talk, I will explain how to use WeakRefs, as well as how TC39 works and how to get involved, so that we can work together for the future of JavaScript.
