How JavaScript Works
summary
Announces a new book and shows a manuscript tool written in JavaScript that transpiles to HTML/PDF but delays printing; claims JavaScript is the bridge to globally distributed secure eventual programming and argues for tail-call optimization. Ships concrete libraries: big integers, big-decimal-style floating point and big rationals to make arithmetic exact, a parsec library for parallel/sequential eventual flows, and recommends using undefined instead of null. Proposes a new language, Neo, with names-with-spaces, exact decimals, unified null, built-in event loop and no semicolons.
