Most of these were made possible by switching from GCC to Apple's own compiler infrastructure (LLVM). This includes: * automatic generation of instance variables for @properties * blocks (closures, lambdas) * possibility to declare private instance variables in *.m file * ARC (Automatic Reference Counting) * automatic forward method declarations * automatic @synthesize for @properties * ObjC literals and array/dictionary subscripting Two useful additions to Foundation.framework are also mentioned: * NSJSONSerialization for JSON parsing * NSRegularExpression for matching strings with regular expressions An overview of various syntax and compiler improvements that appeared in ObjC in the last few years, which make the code simpler and more DRY.

This includes library additions: - Array extensions (isArray, forEach, map, filter, reduce, reduceRight, every, some, indexOf, lastIndexOf) - Date extensions (now, toISOString) - String extensions (trim, trimLeft, trimRight) - Function extensions (bind) - JSON parsing (JSON.parse, JSON.stringify) And some language/syntax extensions: - object getters and setters - object properties (configurable, enumerable) - object introspection (keys, getPrototypeOf) - object creation using prototypal inheritance (Object.create) - protecting objects (seal, freeze) - strict mode Describes most important features added to JavaScript in the ES5 version (released in 2009) and available in the latest versions of popular browsers.
