• Structs: Introduces structured data types that are more predictable and memory-efficient for JavaScript.

Stage 2.7:

• Error.isError: Enhances the Error.isError method for better error detection.

• Iterator Sequencing: Adds sequencing utilities to iterators, allowing more control over execution order.

Stage 3:

• Atomics.pause: Introduces a mechanism to pause execution at atomic operations for concurrency management.

Stage 4:

• Promise.try: Provides a utility to handle synchronous exceptions within promises more easily.

• Sync Iterator Helpers: Extends iterators with helper methods to improve their usability in synchronous contexts.
