||
> Types / TS need to be a core subject (linked to the new tc39 type proposal - also PR and discussion about linking TS) | ||
> Serverless still a key priority (WinterCG group ?) | ||
> Security still on the list, how to improve what should we change ? (ecosystem wide maybe) | ||
> Some stuff are in progress: `binary` and `diagnostic (tracing, prometheus metrics?)` | ||
