Status of Array.prototype.unique Proposal #25

Hi everyone,

I recently came across the Array.prototype.unique proposal and noticed that it hasn't progressed to the next stage. I couldn’t find details explaining why, and I’m quite curious about what has been influencing its journey through the ECMAScript stages.

If anyone has updates or insights on the factors or challenges that have impacted this proposal, I would greatly appreciate hearing more about it. Understanding the development process behind these features is really interesting to me.

Thanks for all your work on this!

Hello! Thanks for your interest in this proposal. I'm the champion of this proposal and I will try to advance it if @TechQuery thinks it's ready and told me to do so. However, the TC39 committee is pessimistic about adding new Array.prototype methods (see https://github.com/tc39/proposal-array-grouping/issues/37)

@Gu7z I think it's likely that we will instead have this functionality on Iterator, which can then be easily applied to Arrays. See https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-unique

@michaelficarra Thanks for the info! I will keep eyes on the iterator-unique! :smile:
