Video: What's next for JavaScript?

In his presentation at the Frontend Conference in Zurich last week, author Axel Rauschmayer talks about the ECMAScript standard. JavaScript, Rauschmayer notes, is used in browsers, servers, and devices. "It's really astonishing where it appears," he says. "Basically, it's used for much more than it was conceived for." As such, ECMAscript will provide the foundation for improving the language's performance in its modern uses.
