Inspired by @thevinitgupta's Top 7 post, tonightβs topic is... JavaScript Runtimes!
You might dread another JavaScript tool, but there have been a lot of modern changes that caused JavaScript runtimes to become lighter and faster, such as: common use of JSX, yearly new releases of ECMAScript, and the popularity of TypeScript.
Questions:
- How does the choice of JavaScript runtime affect web application performance and user experience?
- What have you noticed about how JavaScript tools have changed over the last five years?
- Are there any emerging JavaScript runtimes or technologies that developers should keep an eye on?
- Any triumphs, fails, or other stories you'd like to share on this topic?
