I've been writing about Temporal (what @b.trl.sn calls 'the fix for our broken date object' which is so bad @samwho.dev made a quiz) for a long time and this time, maybe this time, it's really time for temporal @jason-williams.co.uk tells me, which will make @bkardell.com and many developers happy

Thanks for the shoutout! Cheeky lil correction: I left Budibase earlier this year to join @ngrok.com 😊

sorry I missed that - you can tell how long I've been writing this particular piece about Temporal!

one of the module harmony proposals (which together give ES modules what CommonJS had and more) is very likely to make it to ES2026 @robpalmer.bsky.social says: deferring the import of a module until you actually need the code. Upsert (UPdate or inSERT) may also squeeze in so I squeezed it in too!

I'll come back and look at the final list of what's in the next ECMAScript update in the spring, when the train of features leaves the station; and maybe by then the continuing legal challenge to get Oracle to give up the trademark will even mean we can just talk about what's new in JavaScript.
