Bernhardt, Gary – The Birth & Death of JavaScript (PyCon 2014)
- afiori 7y agoHonest question, why is this talk so relevant? I agree it had a good foresight, but I watched it and am a bit surprised by how much it is mentioned.
- shurcooL 7y agoMy guess as to why it’s mentioned so much is that the general expectation is that many people haven’t seen it yet. When people do watch it, they’re surprised by how much good foresight there was, and so they repeat the cycle.
- oblio 7y agoThe presentation style is quite funny. It was even funnier at the time, when such a thing was considered almost inconceivable. Now, it seems prescient.
- Jyaif 7y agoThis talk is (thankfully) obsolete now. We don't need to write (or even to compile to) JS to have multi platform, we just need to write/generate wasm :-)
