Watching how the language grows can be very interesting. I highly recommend taking a look at TC39 proposals and the process.

For example, SmooshGate: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/03/smooshgate

For something more recent and ongoing, private class fields: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-class-fields

As an experiment I created a framework called JEEP. You might find it interesting. https://github.com/vinayms2017/JEEP2018

The fact that the language and ecosystem are maturing. It's less about the new shiny thing and more about incremental improvements on proven libraries/paradigms.
