I highly recommend reading this: So, what's next?
Modular standard library for JavaScript. Includes polyfills for ECMAScript up to 2023: promises, symbols, collections, iterators, typed arrays, many other features, ECMAScript proposals, some cross-platform WHATWG / W3C features and proposals like
URL. You can load only required features or use it without global namespace pollution.
