Показать описание
This talk is about using programming languages more effectively, and using that experience to create and select better programming languages. There are bad practices in software development that are so old and well established that it is difficult to recognize the problems they cause. There will be a review of the new good parts in ES6. JSON will also be mentioned.

Douglas Crockford was born in Frostbite Falls, Minnesota, but left when he was only six months old because it was just too damn cold. He turned his back on a promising career in television when he discovered computers. He has worked in learning systems, small business systems, office automation, games, interactive music, multimedia, location-based entertainment, social systems, and programming languages. He is the inventor of Tilton, the ugliest programming language that was not specifically designed to be an ugly programming language. He is best known for having discovered that there are good parts in JavaScript. This was an important and unexpected discovery. He also discovered the JSON Data Interchange Format, the world’s most loved data format. And he works at Paypal.

This is like watching "Cloverfield": the camera person refuses to aim the lens at anything you actually want to see.

Why would you need objects that just contain functions and no data? 40:05

Weak maps are called that because they hold weak references, thus allowing better garbage collection. There's the regular map as well (that's obviously not called weak).

I know what Crockford's face looks like, thanks. Now show me the code.

Class-free oop? Sounds more like he is doing what I't like to call map oriented programming.

Lack of innovation? PyPy, Cython, and CoffeeScript are just a few of the popular great new languages.
