Don’t Break the Web: Scaling-up JavaScript for the Next 30 Years

Uhrzeit: 17:00 - 18:00
Vortrag: Do 2.4

 

As Brendan Eich created JavaScript during 10 days in 1995 he wasn’t expecting it to become the most widely used programming language. But it became the web’s native language and is now poised to be dominant for the emerging Ambient Computing Era. ECMAScript 2015 is the culmination of a 10 year effort to improve and strengthen JavaScript for this role. This talk explores the details of transforming JavaScript into a “better language” without breaking millions of unmaintained web pages that depend upon legacy JavaScript code.

Target Audience: Architects, Developers, Project Leader
Prerequisites: Project Experience
Level: Practicing

Extended Abstract
As Brendan Eich created JavaScript during ten days in May 1995 he was not expecting it to become the world’s most widely used programming language. Yet that is exactly what happened. JavaScript became the web’s native language and now poised to be a dominant programming language for the rapidly emerging Ambient Computing Era. ECMAScript 2015 language specification is the culmination of a ten year effort to improve and strengthen JavaScript for this unexpected role. This talk will explore some of the details of what it took to transform JavaScript into a “better language” without breaking millions of unmaintained web pages that depend upon legacy JavaScript code.
