Slides for new Global https://github.com/endojs/proposal-new-global/tree/main/slides
some further clarifications pending. I'm new here, so any amount of kind feedback on what's worth adding/explaining will be appreciated.

@naugtur:matrix.org: for new proposals it's best to focus on the problem to be solved, rather than a particular solution

<bakkot>
People may not remember Evaluators, so the comparison to that proposal isn't enough on its own

naugtur: Yes to what bakkot said, tho I do generally see the obvious niceties of isolated test-runner or isolation environments. I don't understand how this has relevance to DSLs, tho, but that's the first bullet point on the motivation slide

TabAtkins: the testrunner's API is the DSL in question - describe, it etc. - where the testing code is in a special global contour that should not be visible to the app sources being tested.

Ahh, that's not what I usually think of when I hear DSL and evaluation contexts being mentioned together. Ok.
