The Third Age of JavaScript
Shawn Swyx Wang, Head of Developer Experience Temporal.io
The way we write JavaScript is poised for dramatic change in the 2020’s. Here’s why: the slow death of IE11 and rollout of ES Modules will converge toward a new generation of JavaScript tooling. These tools are faster, typesafer, and polyglot, leading to both a better developer and user experience. Change is afoot!
