"entirely new approach to how bound function exotic objects are implemented"

Does anyone have information on using the term "exotic"? I haven't heard that before and not sure how to understand what they meant by that.

It's a specific term used in the ECMAScript specification [1]. That refers to any object for which at least one internal method does not behave like for a standard object created for example with `{}`.
