+• WebKit engineers may be constrained by Apple's strategy, which prioritizes services revenue over web development
+• Philosophical differences between WebKit and Chrome teams regarding the role of the web
+• Wormhole file transfer uses WebTorrent library for peer-to-peer sharing with hash verification
+• iOS limitations hinder innovation in web development
+• WebTorrent allows for nice behavior swarming, making downloads faster
+• Files are end-to-end encrypted using the WebCrypto API before being uploaded to the cloud
+• The encryption process is done in parallel with uploading to the cloud and creating a torrent file
+• The torrent file is immutable, meaning it cannot be changed once created, which limits its ability to handle modifications
+• Cloud storage uses Backblaze B2, which does not support torrents, so uploads are done directly from the client's browser using plain HTTP
+• On the downloader side, the cloud storage acts as a web seed, allowing the torrent client to treat it as a peer and download data from it
+• Deriving a sub-key from a master key for secure room access
+• URL structure including room ID and secret key
+• One-way hash process to create sub-key without revealing master key
+• Reader token generation for authorized access to room data
+• Torrent-based file transfer with peer-to-peer connections
+• WebTorrent uses a service worker to intercept video requests and provide the necessary encrypted data
+• The service worker decrypts the data from the middle, rather than relying on end-to-end encryption
+• This approach allows for adaptive streaming, where the quality of the video is adjusted based on network speed
+• The media source API can be used to stitch together different qualities of video, but it requires specific file formatting
+• A service worker approach allows for support of any video format that the browser supports, without requiring special processing code
+• Client-side decryption occurs without metadata about the transferred file being known
+• A random ID is used in URL requests to intercept and respond with data from other open Wormhole tabs.

+• Stage 0: Idea generation and discussion in Discourse (TC39 website)
+• Stage 1: Problem statement and investigation, including creation of a proposal repository on GitHub
+• Stage 2: Drafting the final spec text and ironing out problems
+• Stage 3: Reviewing the proposal for potential issues before implementation
+• Stage 4: Specification and implementation
+• Competing ideas and implementation options are debated within proposals or through forks, with decisions made through discussion rather than voting.
+• The development of ES5 was delayed due to the complexity of the original specification, leading to a "backpocket" proposal for incremental improvements.
+• A similar backpocket proposal was considered for private fields, but ultimately decided against in favor of the original solution after careful evaluation.
+• Polyfillable implementations are an important consideration in language design, and proposals must be carefully reviewed to ensure they can be polyfilled if necessary.
+• The JavaScript committee has a set of unwritten "intrinsic" values that guide their decision-making, including prioritizing polyfillability and protecting critical features of the language.
+• The committee is working on formalizing these intrinsics into the normative text of the specification.
+• Decision-making in the committee requires unanimous agreement not to block a proposal; one person can hold up progress if they object.
+• The process allows for constructive feedback and discussion, with a focus on providing reasons for blocking or rejecting a proposal.

+• LavaMoat project as an example of using realms to restrict package permissions.
+• Compartments proposal as a related concept allowing for restricted access to certain APIs.
+• Realms' limitations as a security boundary, with emphasis on integrity rather than strong security.
+• The browser loads HTML and starts parsing it incrementally
+• Script tags are encountered, triggering script loading and execution
+• With modules, the entire module tree is fetched and parsed ahead of time before evaluation
+• SpiderMonkey engine engages at the point where code is ready to be parsed, taking care of parsing and executing scripts
+• Modules have a different representation than regular scripts, with a list of other scripts to load
+• Deferred module loading proposal allows developers to delay execution of modules until they are needed
+• Current implementation can lead to slow startup performance due to the need for both fetching and parsing of modules before evaluation
