description

David Herman has posted a video of his talk on what he calls ECMAScript.next, the next version of JavaScript. Others call it “JavaScript Harmony”. It nicely complements my recent post on Brendan Eich’s ideas for Harmony [1], with a little overlap, but not much. Roadmap for ECMAScript.next: Spring 2011: proposal freeze (no more proposals allowed) 2013 (roughly): spec finished, parts will be in browsers before that. opt-in via MIME type in script tag: <script type="application/javascript;version=next"> (where “next” is a placeholder for something that has still to be determined) Broad themes: Fixes: removing quirks Expressiveness: support better, more concise idioms Power: doing what couldn’t previously be done
