Thanks for sharing Tierney!
Really happy to hear about your experience, seems like it's indeed more welcoming than looks on the outside.

Couple of questions :

  1. Did you find discussions on the proposals being very technical and involving a deep javascript and browser jargon?
  2. How often does the tc39 meet like that?

Thanks for the questions, Liran ❤️

To answer them:

  1. They were deeply technical but not in a way that I couldn't follow. It was honestly similar to a classroom style presentation, except where everyone wants you to understand and succeed – and one where you can use the Internet to figure out what the heck people are saying. I opened up Google and the spec often when there was a word I didn't understand, and if I couldn't find an answer I just asked someone once we were out of the actual presentation.

  2. The in-person meetings are every two months.
