Support ES2021 WeakRef & FinalizationRegistry #943

Open p-bakker opened 3 years ago

p-bakker commented 3 years ago

WeakRef, for referring to a target object without preserving it from garbage collection FinalizationRegistry, to manage registration and unregistration of cleanup operations performed when target objects are garbage collected

Proposal: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-weakrefs MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/WeakRef

Is there any reason this couldn't just be a thin wrapper around java.lang.ref.WeakReference?
