A proposal to add signals to JavaScript

I like signals as primitive but in this particular case they make it roughly about as easy to create loops accidentally as events do. I don't think this problem gets better or worse with signals.

Signals are a bit better because they only propagate when computed values actually changed. This is an implicit fixed point/stopping condition that doesn't intrinsically exist with events.
