Hi everyone,

I have published the summary
<https://github.com/codehag/TC39-news/blob/master/meetings/tc39-02-2020.md>
on the February TC39 Meeting.

tl;dr -- The meeting had a lot of new proposals up for stage 1. Stage 1
means "we think this is worth investigating but we are not committed to it
yet".

Proposals that might be exciting:

*Logical assignment* -- stage 1, which allows you to do this: `a ??= b`
instead of this `a = a ?? b`.
*BigDecimal* -- stage 1, similar to BigInt but for decimals.
*Async initialization* -- stage 1, seeks to fix async inits in class syntax
(think -- inside the constructor)
(formerly known as Array.fillRandom) *cryptographically secure pseudo
random number generation (CSPRNG) in javascript* -- stage 1, proposes a
method to fill the portion of an ArrayBuffer associated with a TypedArray
with cryptographically secure pseudo-random number values.
time duration format -- stage 1, seeks to allow users to define a time
period, for example a number of hours, days, until an event.

Proposal discussions/questions welcome.

Yulia
