From the post:<p>&quot;The V8 team is already working to bring upcoming features such as async &#x2F; await keywords, Object.prototype.values() &#x2F; Object.prototype.entries(), String.prototype.padStart() &#x2F; String.prototype.padEnd() and RegExp lookbehind to the runtime. &quot;<p>I&#x27;m working on async&#x2F;await in V8, together with Caitlin Potter. Browser support is in progress for Firefox and Safari as well. It didn&#x27;t make the cut for ES2016, but it is at Stage 3 at TC39. I&#x27;m optimistic that it&#x27;ll get into the main draft specification at the next TC39 meeting after we have a second spec-compliant browser implementation, which doesn&#x27;t seem very far off.
