Anyone else find they discover these sorts of things by accident. I never know when a feature was added but vague ideas of "thats modern". Feels different to when I only did C# and you'd read the new language features and get all excited. In a polyglot world and just the rate even individual languages evolve its hard to keep up! I usually learn through osmosis or a blog post like this (but that is random learning).
I'm truly a fan of node (and V8) so once in a while (2-3 months?) I read their release notes and become aware of these things.
Sometimes I also read the proposals, https://github.com/tc39/proposals
I really want the pipeline operator to be included.
I recommend an excellent Node weekly [0] newsletter for all the things Node. It's been a reliable source of updates for over ten years.

Reading release notes would have solved that issue ;)
Which release notes. Id need to read hundreds!
Maybe there's an idea in here, a website that shows you all release notes since the last time you've used something, removing those that have been superseeded by later ones, ranked by importance.
