I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE OF JAVASCRIPT AND IT’S AMAZING
Hi, I’m dherman @littlecalculist
I — JavaScript and I love the language it almost
is...

POWER
Bits, bytes and blobs binary file and network I/O
var Point2D = new StructType({ x: uint32,
y: uint32 }); var Color = new StructType({ r: uint8, g: uint8, b: uint8 });
var Pixel = new StructType({ point: Point2D,
color: Color }); var Triangle = new ArrayType(Pixel, 3);
new Triangle([ { point: { x: 0,
y: 0 }, color: { r: 255, g: 255, b: 255 } }, { point: { x: 5, y: 5 }, color: { r: 128, g: 0, b: 0 } }, { point: { x: 10, y: 0 }, color: { r: 0, g: 0, b: 128 } } ])
Keep off my property private names
function Container() { var secret = 3;
this.service = function() { if (secret-‐-‐) { ... } }; }
var key = Name.create("secret"); function Container() { this[key] = 3
} Container.prototype = { service: function() { if (this[key]-‐-‐) { ... } } };
var markers = new WeakMap(); var tile = new Tile(...);
var results = [...]; tiles.set(tile, results);
var obj = Proxy.create({ get: function(...) {
... }, set: function(...) { ... }, delete: function(...) { ... }, ... }, proto);
Callbacks: the new goto? (well, no, but... still.)
Pour 1/2 cup water into pan. When you’re done: Bring
water to boil. When that’s done: Lower heat and add rice. After 15 minutes: Turn off heat and serve.
pan.pourWater(function() { range.bringToBoil(function() {
range.lowerHeat(function() { pan.addRice(function() { setTimeout(function() { range.turnOff(); serve(); }, 15 * 60 * 1000); }); }); }); });
pan.pourWater(function() { range.bringToBoil(function() {
range.lowerHeat(function() { pan.addRice(function() { setTimeout(function() { range.turnOff(); serve(); }, 15 * 60 * 1000); }); }); }); }); pyramid of doom
generators a.k.a. coroutines a.k.a. Interruptible functions
function* g() { yield 1;
yield 2; } var obj = g(); obj.next(); // 1 obj.next(); // 2
var task = new Task(function*() { var
text = yield XHR("file.txt"); yield timeout(1000); status.innerHTML = text; }); task.start();
Great languages deserve great libraries and that means modules

We (Ecma) are working hard and fast on the spec.
We (vendors) will ship features before the spec is done. Transpilers as language shims: Traceur, Narcissus
