TC39 Roundup Drama Edition Part II: JS0 and JSSugar
<p>In this episode, Surma talks about a presenation-maybe-soon-to-be-a-proposal "JS0", which explores the idea of splitting JavaScript into two specifications: JS0, focusing on security, performance and capabilties, implemented by engines; and JSSugar, focussing on developer productivity and syntactic sugar features implemented by build tools.</p> <h2>Notes & Corrections:</h2> <ul> <li>Yes, I know, people still do have to step through assembler. But I stand behind the essence of my point: The debug symbols for compiled languages feel very reliable. We should be able to at least match that reliability in JavaScript.</li> <li>Guy Bedford currently works at Fastly.</li> </ul> <h2>Resources:</h2> <ul> <li><a href= "https://offthemainthread.tech/episode/tc39-shared-structs/">Previous episode on Shared Structs</a></li> <li><a href= "https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ylROTu3N6MyHzNzWJXQAc7Bo1O0FHO3lNKfQMfPOA4o/edit#slide=id.p"> The infamous slide deck</a></li> <li><a href= "https://offthemainthread.tech/episode/why-sourcemaps-dont-always-work/"> OTMT episode on SourceMaps</a> on source maps</li> </ul>
