ECMAScript Harmony: Brendan Eich, Douglas Crockford, Adobe, and more
Written by on August 15th, 2008 in Uncategorized.
ECMAScript Harmony has been the big news of the week. It isn’t hard to see why, the next version of JavaScript is going to affect us all, for a long time (even more than a presidents term!)
Alex Russell, John Resig, and myself got Brendan Eich and Arun Ranganathan on the phone to talk about the news. This is episode 2 of the Open Web Podcast (see the new website, and subscribe to the series, including via iTunes.)
The podcast is over an hour long and goes into a ton of detail covering a lesson on language design, politics and process, a lot of history, and hopefully the path to a positive future.
We have other postings going on in the community too. Douglas Crockford writes an opinion on how The Only Thing We Have To Fear Is Premature Standardization and Mike Chambers wraps up the thoughts of Adobe on ActionScript 3 and ECMAScript 4.
Have you seen any interesting posts or thoughts on the news?
