Which Way Is Forward for the JavaScript Programming Language?
Time: Wednesday @ 10:40am | Room E-134

The March of Progress is not a stable thing. It moves in fits, and frequently changes direction. N steps forward. M steps back. Can we get there from here? Are we there yet? Douglas Crockford shares his insight.

JavaScript has become incredibly popular, and yet is little loved and much hated. And it is trying to change while petrified by its own popularity. We'll look at the history of some current controversies in language design. A go to technology is sometimes useful and so must be eliminated.

I planned to (re)learn Ruby, Python after a excessive year of Javascript; so like I'd have 3 weapons to fight
but thanks to him, Javascript will be master branch of programming. Cheers!

Unpredictable operators, local variables hoisting, ambiguous syntax, broken "this", broken varargs, hashtables cannot store certain words as keys. But we have closures and we dont' have goto! That sure is the way to go.
