Now, there are a few parts of this. It would be cool if TC39 and/or Node reached out to teachers/beginners. But, the reverse is also true.

Those of us who work with beginners should look for ways to be advocates for their learning experience, right?

Now, it’s not that easy. There isn’t really a lot of prior art for this or existing cow paths. This isn’t a solved problem.

Nor is there a lot of awareness that this is a problem that can and should be addressed. I don’t have a lot of answers. (Sorry!)

But, I think this is a really great opportunity and we should totally start a conversation.

If you’re on a core team or standards committee and want to get teachers/beginners involved. Let me know and I’ll help you make that happen.

Stolen from ember. Sometimes it gets filled in with "this should be obvious" tho because rfc authors aren't teachers :-/
