JSParty Live on the Future of JavaScript
summary
Panelists debate concrete changes: TC39 pipeline and pattern proposals, a binary AST proof of concept shipping only in SpiderMonkey so far, and a claimed Gutenberg parser being 86x faster. They explain TC39 stage process, show how WebAssembly adds runtime speed while binary AST targets startup cost, outline a garbage collection integration and typed objects to share memory with JS, and describe experiments compiling subsets of JS/TypeScript to Wasm with mixed results and measurable implementation risk.
