Lars Bak discusses virtual machine technology, JavaScript performance optimization, and the design of Dart to address complex web application development.
Innovation is crucial for keeping web browsers a vibrant development platform. In the past four years, amazing performance improvements of JavaScript have enabled new kinds of web applications. However, this is far from sufficient. We clearly need to address the inefficiencies of developing large complex web applications. This talk will discuss advances in virtual machine technology and programming languages that likely will shape the future of web programming. Lars Bak Google Inc.
