It’s happening, JavaScript is one of the most popular languages and it’s conquering the server side and the internet of things as well. JavaScript is just eighteen years old, and the future is bright. But how this future looks like? How can we improve JavaScript to make it better, focusing on large scale projects with Millions Lines Of Code?
MLOC.JS 2014 is an international conference in Budapest on February 13-14, that presents talks and workshops for advanced developers about challenges of building and maintaining large and complex applications in JS. The program focuses especially on generating JS from compiled languages, multiplatform development using JS as a runtime environment, programming paradigms for safer, faster, more productive development and JavaScript tools.
MLOC.JS is for people interested in the future of the language and the platform, the possibilites of JavaScript on the web and on the server side. For people doing or planning to do big JavaScript projects, and for people would like to see how is it possible to improve JavaScript by making it smarter, faster and sexy.
With projects like asm.js and Emscripten, Mozilla is beginning to see JavaScript as a virtual machine and compiler target. Will it change how we think about and how we use JavaScript? How compiling C++ code to really fast JavaScript code will transform the web? MLOC.JS is bringing together representatives of major browser vendors, industrial users with large web projects, and authors of compile-to-JS projects with the goal of moving the web forward. Together they will discuss what will be possible with the web platform in the next 10 years.
This event is not going to be huge, but rather hard core. The organisers invite everyone who generates JavaScript, or works on multiplatform toolchains or knows about the internals of VMs. The conference will take place on February 13-14, at the Headquarters of Prezi in Budapest.
