NATIVE BIGINTS IN JAVASCRIPT:
A CASE STUDY IN TC39
TC39 is the group that defines JavaScript's standards.
Numbers in JS are all 64bit floats. So a lot of bits are "wasted" when representing big integers.

Main takeaways
JS is capable of great things beyond only building cool websites. We should explore more and find new ways of telling great stories to our users.
The community makes the web and influences it. It's our responsibility to build the web we want.
The tech community is not absent from the discussions that are happening in the "outside" world and its implications.
We should get more involved next year
