Watching how the language grows can be very interesting. I highly recommend taking a look at TC39 proposals and the process.

For example, SmooshGate: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/03/smooshgate

For something more recent and ongoing, private class fields: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-class-fields


As an experiment I created a framework called JEEP. You might find it interesting. https://github.com/vinayms2017/JEEP2018


Our roundup of 2018 might help get some context for this: https://javascriptweekly.com/issues/417


The fact that the language and ecosystem are maturing. It's less about the new shiny thing and more about incremental improvements on proven libraries/paradigms.


TypeScript and WebAssembly.


NodeJS v11.6 was only released about 2 weeks ago
