JavaScript String ReplaceAll()
ES2021 introduced the string method replaceAll():
Example

text = text.replaceAll("cats","dogs");

The replaceAll() method allows you to specify a
regular expression instead of a string to be replaced.
If the parameter is a regular expression, the global flag (g) must be set, otherwise a TypeError is thrown.
Example
text = text.replaceAll(/Cats/g,"Dogs");
text = text.replaceAll(/cats/g,"dogs");

Note
ES2020 introduced the string method matchAll().
JavaScript Numeric Separator (_)
ES2021 intoduced the numeric separator (_) to make numbers more readable:
The numeric separator is only for visual use.
The numeric separator can be placed anywhere in a number:
Note
The numeric separator is not allowed at the beginning or at the end of a number.
In JavaScript only variables can start with _.
The numeric separator is supported in all modern browsers since January 2020:
