Status of finalizers in javascript

From the spec author:

I currently plan to have an update at the March TC39 meeting.

• https://github.com/tc39/proposal-weakrefs/issues/15#issuecomment-362172690

More about the spec @ https://github.com/tc39/proposal-weakrefs/blob/master/specs/weakrefs.md

This sounds hopeful!

That would be really be wonderful.
But sadly I do not feel they will go ahead with it. Because people who miss-use it will have really hard to debug bugs, and javascript engine developers will be constantly spammed with issues that are not really issues. (It brings in non-deterministic behavior)... we'll see... Hope they do, but don't think they will.
