JavaScript

The PastCHAPTER I

“

”PERFECT IS THE ENEMY OF GOOD.

VOLTAIRE

Don’t worry about doing things perfectly. If you do, you’ll never get things done.

Aristotel, Confucius and others suggested to take the golden middle way and avoid extremes.

Law of the vital few(aka Pareto principle, 80/20 rule)

It commonly takes 20% of the full time to complete 80% of a task

while to complete the last 20% of a task takes 80% of the effort.

Achieving absolute perfection may be impossible and so, as increasing effort results in diminishing returns, further

activity becomes increasingly inefficient.

“

”The man who moves a mountain begins by

carrying away small stones.

CONFUCIUS

Incremental improvements might lead you to perfection without losing time.

ES.Next

Brief History of JavaScriptOr how to baby step in web domination.

Brendan Eich wrote Mocha in 10 days in May 1995.

Mocha becomed LiveScript later. In December 1995 the language was renamed again to it’s final name: JavaScript

The PresentCHAPTER II

From helperTo master.

JavaScript become from a ‘helper’ language used to do menus and annoying popups to a language in which you write almost all your app.

Annoying popups

Amazing games

Ease of development with frameworks.JS offers the fastest web experience with SPA.

One language to rule them all.You can build a entire web application with JS.

*Not the only web app solution.

The FutureCHAPTER III

ES.NEXT (Proposals)

• A new primitive that provides a way to represent whole numbers larger than 253

• 2n**53n === JavaSccript M(a)eth (lol)BigInt

• import() can be used from scripts, not just from modules.• Dynamically load parts of a JavaScript application at runtime (because of

factors only known at runtime ... Ex. User Language);import()

• #privateClass field declaration

ES.NEXT (Proposals)

• @defineElement(‘potato’)• @bound • @observed

Decorators

• Simillar to RxJS implementation of it.Observable

• sqrt(64) becomes 64 |> sqrt.• let result = „hello” |> addQuote |> capitalize |> exclaim;

The Pipeline Operator

I don’t know the future, but sinceI don’t see one without internet...

Bet on JavaScript.

That’s my tip for past, present and future betting.
