ECMAScript.next: David Herman of Mozilla
Details
The fifth edition of the ECMAScript standard was finalized in December of 2009 and is beginning to ship in mainstream browsers. But Ecma TC39, the committee in charge of standardizing JavaScript, has simultaneously been working on the next edition for several years as well. In this talk I will describe some of the new features we have planned for the future of JavaScript.
Dave Herman is a resident programming language propeller-head at Mozilla. He has been a member of Ecma TC39, the committee in charge of standardizing JavaScript, since 2006. At Mozilla, Dave works on programming language design, including next generation features for JavaScript, as well as the new parallel systems programming language Rust.
