Last week, I attended a talk on JavaScript 2 by John Resig. John wrote jQuery, and is now the JS evangelist for Mozilla, which is pushing JS2 along with Adobe and Opera.
Before the talk, I was fairly ambivalent about the new language. In the abstract, it has the ability to inflict pain on us humble JS developers if the upgrade path is too problematic, and there are a whole load of language features that aren’t obviously interesting (again in the abstract).
John’s presentation was, in effect, a Keynote version of the recently released Ecmascript 4 Language Overview Whitepaper, which was released by Adobe, Mozilla, and Opera, three members of the ECMA working group.
