Re:Future JavaScript: what is still missing? by evv on Sunday January 27, 2019 @11:01AM (#19012162)
I'm no lawyer, but I think the Apache2 license on Swift would mean that the JS community has access to the patent.

https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

TC39 (who defines Javascript) is a collaboration of several companies, so I'm not sure who Apple could/would even sue if this was proposed and adopted for JS. I doubt we would see legal activity over it.
