webJavaScript, all the way down

the web platform is a kludge

the problem is in the process

despite all thiswe’ve somehow done ok

how?

the extensible web manifestois standards bodies saying

they’re ready to do their part

the web platform is our language

but like all languages, it must evolve

#extendthewebforward in two acts

I. extend our basic vocabulary

II. start incorporating slang

extending our vocabulary

custom tags

shadow dom

web audio

fullscreennotificationsgeolocation

⋮

es6 and es7

incorporating slang

<template>

<dialog>

css: variables; unset; hierarchies

pointer events

promises

what’s next?

streams

fetch

zip/zlib

class Elements extends Array

???

get involved

this philosophy has teeth

how to win friends andinfluence standards bodies

the future is longer than the past
