Explicit Resource Management

[joelday]

Any plan/timeline to implement https://github.com/tc39/proposal-explicit-resource-management?

You're asking in the wrong place. New syntax gets implemented by V8, not Node.js.

Like Ben said, Node will get this once V8 implements it and Node updates to a version of V8 that supports it. It's worth noting that there has already been some work to add Symbol.dispose and Symbol.asyncDispose to some Node core APIs so that transpilers can start leveraging it.
