ECMAScript® 2025 Language Specification

tc39.es/ecma262

The document at https:\//tc39.es/ecma262/ is the most accurate and up-to-date ECMAScript specification. It contains the content of the most recent yearly snapshot plus any finished proposals (those that have reached Stage 4 in the proposal process and thus are implemented in several implementations and will be in the next practical revision) since that snapshot was taken.

This document is available as a single page and as multiple pages.

Reasons to use your shell's job control

jvns.ca/blog/2024/07/03/reasons-to-use-job-control

Hello! Today someone on Mastodon asked about job control (fg, bg, Ctrl+z,
wait, etc). It made me think about how I don’t use my shell’s job
control interactively very often: usually I prefer to just open a new terminal
tab if I want to run multiple terminal programs, or use tmux if it’s over ssh.
But I was curious about whether other people used job control more often than me.

So I asked on Mastodon for
reasons people use job control. There were a lot of great responses, and it
even made me want to consider using job control a little more!

In this post I’m only going to talk about using job control interactively (not
in scripts) – the post is already long enough just talking about interactive
use.
