The idea that when differing perspectives come into conflict, our decisions ought to prioritize them in the following (descending) order:

1. End users
1. End users (tool and website users)
2. JavaScript authors
3. JavaScript engine implementers
4. ECMAScript specification authors
5. Theoretical purity

This ordering is not absolute; a small cost or benefit to a higher-priority group can be overridden by a sufficiently large cost or benefit to a lower-priority group.

While this is not an explicitly adopted goal of TC39, it is a common standards concept which delegates often refer to.
