Guide to New JavaScript Features Introduced at Google I/O 2019

On May 6 and 7, 2019, the most recent Google I/O conference was held. This is an annual technology event that has been organized by Google every year since 2008. The forum brings together developers from around the world to present and discuss topics related to Google products, open Internet technologies, and new trends in the software industry.

One of the biggest trends that was covered at this event was a series of changes with JavaScript. Mathias Bynens and Sathya Gunasekaran covered many of these changes in a talk titled: "What's new in JavaScript". This is a great video to check out. These two men have worked on Google's V8 JavaScript engine project, so they are very knowledgeable about the impact of these changes. However, we wanted to summarize the changes here.
