JavaScript the Grumpy Parts
Submitted Jun 20, 2020
Session type::
Full talk (40 mins duration)
We love JavaScript, but we must admit: it’s weird. Why does this behave as it does? How does variable scope work? Why do we have such comical behavior when comparing mixed types? Let’s pull back the covers of these scenarios, and learn how it truly works. You may find a new reason to fall in love with JavaScript.
Outline
After a brief look at the 2-phase JavaScript compiler, we look at examples of code, infer what’s going to happen, then think like the compiler to see how we did. We look at defining (and not defining) variables at various scopes, we look at this and how to control it with apply, bind, and =>, we look at interop between async/await and promises, and we look at the Node event loop. This is definitely a deep dive into the innards of JavaScript. Attendees leave with a newfound appreciation of JavaScript and much less frustration at the weird quirks.
