How do I ask the javascript maintainers for a feature?

Question

It's a tiny thing, but I think that figuring out this process will help me a lot in my career. I would like to suggest an alternative syntax for import statements, where instead of being import x from "module," I would like to be able to type from "module" import x. How would I make this suggestion?

Answer 1

To propose something new, or an extension to something, you'd write up a proposal (it can be fairly high-level early on), typically in a GitHub repository, and then announce it in the TC39 Discourse group and try to get people interested in supporting it. Ultimately you'd need to get a TC39 member interested in championing the proposal through the proposals process . You'll need to be registered as a non-member Ecma contributor, which you can do here .

For examples of proposals, see the TC39 proposals repository .
