Could you clarify which part you’re referring to? I’m disappointed at them feeling trepidation after BigInt, but the thread I linked (and some other discussions I’ve seen) make me understand why they’d choose to focus effort elsewhere.

It would be a monumental change and it’s not entirely clear how much of the community outside the React and similar ecosystems would adopt it. It might have significant performance issues for the desired use cases and choices about value semantics would affect usability.
