tl;dr I’m burying the lede with context and catch-up material first, so impatient or already-clued-in readers should skip to below the videos for today’s big news. Or just read Luke Wagner‘s blog post right now. My Fluent 2015 “ECMAScript Harmony: Rise of the Compilers” talk given on April 21st: Jeremy Ashkenas picked up this ball and ran into the next field’s end zone two days later in Brooklyn:
Slides for the brief talk that I gave at a Harvard seminar on privacy and user data organized by John Taysom last week. My talk was really more about the “network problem” than the “protocol problem”. Networks breed first- and second-mover winners and others path-dependent powers, until the next disruption. Users or rather their data get captured. Privacy is only one concern among several, includi
But actually, I’m serious. People are rightly concerned about what is going on in the W3C with DRM, as couched in the Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) proposal. Please read Henri Sivonen’s explanation of EME if you haven’t yet. As usual for us here at Mozilla, we want to start by addressing what is best for individual users and therefore what’s best for the Open Web, which in turn depends in large
This morning, Mozilla and OTOY made an announcement: Mozilla and OTOY deliver the power of native PC applications to the Web, unveil next generation JavaScript video codec for movies and cloud gaming What this means: ORBX.js, a downloadable HD codec written in JS and WebGL. The advantages are many. On the good-for-the-open-web side: no encumbered-format burden on web browsers, they are just IP-bli
[This is an extended essay on the news out of Norway yesterday. See the closing for encouragement toward Opera and its fans, whatever the open source projects they choose to join, from me on behalf of Mozilla. /be] Founder Flashback I wrote about the founding of HTML5 in June, 2004, without dropping that acronym, mentioning only “Opera and others” as partners, because Apple was shy. Fragments of m
A short blog post to let everyone in the Mozilla community know the latest news. As the “About Brendan” sidebar says, I’m a founder of Mozilla, and since 2005 I have had the title of CTO. That job has entailed work on technical strategy, Web standards, influencing/partnering, Mozilla Research, public speaking, and talent-scouting. (Oh, and I still code.) I’m happy to announce that as CTO I will no
This blog focuses on portions of the new-in-ES6 stuff I presented in my Strange Loop 2012 closing keynote, which was well-received (reveal.js-based HTML slides, some from my Fluent 2012 keynote, many of those originally from Dave Herman‘s Web Rebels 2012 talk [thanks!], can be viewed here; notes courtesy Jason Rudolph). UPDATE: the Strange Loop keynote video is up. I blogged early in 2011 about Ha
Most of the comments in this semicolons in JS exchange make me sad. The code in question: clearMenus() !isActive && $parent.toggleClass('open') relies on Automatic Semicolon Insertion (ASI) and so cannot be minified except by parsing fully (including ASI), observing the significance of the newline after clearMenus(), and inserting a semicolon when stripping that newline. Some argue that JSMin has
[Also posted at hacks.mozilla.org.] I wrote The Open Web and Its Adversaries just over five years ago, based on the first SXSW Browser Wars panel (we just had our fifth, it was great — thanks to all who came). Some history The little slideshow I presented is in part quaint. WPF/E and Adobe Apollo, remember those? (Either the code names, or the extant renamed products?) The Web has come a long way
It seems (according to one guru, but coming from this source, it’s a left-handed compliment) that JavaScript is finally popular. To me, a nerd from a tender age, this is something between a curse and a joke. (See if you are in my camp: isn’t the green chick hotter?) Brendan Eich convinced his pointy-haired boss at Netscape that the Navigator browser should have its own scripting language, and that
Mozilla is happy to support Facebook in forming a Core Mobile Web Platform W3C Community Group in which to curate prioritized, tiered lists of emerging and de facto standards that browsers should support in order for the Web to compete with native application stacks on mobile devices. The W3C Community Groups do not create normative specifications; their work is informative at most [UPDATED per Ia
Ragavan Srinivasan’s post about the forthcoming Mozilla Marketplace for Open Web Apps inspired me to write about Mozilla’s surging Web and Device API standards work. A bit of background. Mozilla has always contributed to web standards, going back to the start of the project. We co-founded the WHAT-WG to kick off HTML5. As readers of this blog know, we are a leader in JS standardization. We have so
I took time away from the Mozilla all-hands last week to help out on-stage at the Intel Developer Forum with the introduction of RiverTrail, Intel’s technology demonstrator for Parallel JS — JavaScript utilizing multicore (CPU) and ultimately graphics (GPU) parallel processing power, without shared memory threads (which suck). Then over the weekend, I spoke at CapitolJS, talking about ES6 and Dart
TXJS 2011 A6 – Brendan Eich – Ecma TC39: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. [Main slides] [Paren-free] I spoke at TXJS, a really excellent regional JS conference, in June. Thanks to @SlexAxton, rmurphey, and everyone else involved. My talk was concerned with the good, bad, and ugly of Ecma TC39 (and I mean those words in the best possible way!), mixing philosophy with historical events from the last
As you may know, I wrote JavaScript in ten days. JS was born under the shadow of Java, and in spite of support by marca and Bill Joy, JS in 1995 was essentially a one-man show. I had a bit of help, even at the start, that I’d like to acknowledge again. Ken Smith, a Netscape acquiree from Borland, ported JDK 1.0-era java.util.Date (we both just drafted off of the Java truck, per management orders;
NodeConf is a blast, and Mozilla had a 30 minute slot. Here’s the slideshare.net link. SpiderNode and V8Monkey are on github, of course. Paul O’Shannessy already blogged a few weeks ago. To avoid confusion, here’s the cheat-sheet: V8Monkey is SpiderMonkey with V8’s API around it. We are not done emulating the full V8 API. Because we haven’t managed to perfectly emulate the full V8 API, the few lan
@jashkenas was kind enough to let me join him for his JSConf.us session. Here is the slideshare link. I’ll comment on the individual slides below. Jeremy’s talk was entitled “CoffeeScript as a JS/next”, and I was interested in giving an update on Ecma TC39 Harmony progress, so when Jeremy and I met and caught up during the first day of JSConf, we quickly agreed on a joint session with about 15 min
Continuing in the vein of paren-free, I’d like to present a refreshed vision of JavaScript Harmony. This impressionist exercise is of course not canonical (not yet), but it’s not some random, creepy fanfic either. Something like this could actually happen, likelier and better if done with your help (more on how at the end). I’m blurring the boundaries between Ecma TC39’s current consensus-Harmony,
(Mobile/No-Flash version) These are based directly on the excellent work of Mark Miller and Tom Van Cutsem, who developed the harmony:proxies proposal that is now approved for the next major iteration of the JavaScript standard (ECMA-262, probably edition 6 but we’ve learned the hard way not to number prematurely — anyway, approved for “ECMAScript Harmony” [my original Harmony-coining post]). Harm
Many thanks to Pressable for the theme porting and ongoing hosting, and to w0ts0n for help with the transfer. I’ll blog again soon. tl;dr I’m burying the lede with context and catch-up material first, so impatient or already-clued-in readers should skip to below the videos for today’s big news.

It’s good to be back. I let the old blog field lie fallow in order to focus on work in Ecma TC39 (JS standards), Firefox 3.5, 3.6 and 4; and recently on a new project that I’ll blog about soon. In the mean time [UPDATE and in case the embedded video fails], here’s the video link from my JSConf 2010 surprise keynote in April. Highlights include: What would happen in a battle between Chuck Norris an
