"The V8 team is already working to bring upcoming features such as async / await keywords, Object.prototype.values() / Object.prototype.entries(), String.prototype.padStart() / String.prototype.padEnd() and RegExp lookbehind to the runtime. "
I'm working on async/await in V8, together with Caitlin Potter. Browser support is in progress for Firefox and Safari as well. It didn't make the cut for ES2016, but it is at Stage 3 at TC39. I'm optimistic that it'll get into the main draft specification at the next TC39 meeting after we have a second spec-compliant browser implementation, which doesn't seem very far off.
