- The history of server-side JavaScript runtimes has seen evolutions and revolutions in a number of aspects: ways of doing I/O, module systems, interoperability across different runtimes, interoperability with the web, and much more. This talk explores this history, covering past innovations and standardization efforts (did you know that CommonJS was much more than a module system?). We will then learn about WinterCG, a new effort to coordinate runtimes to interoperate with the web and discuss how it can shape the future of server-side JavaScript.
About the speakers:
Andreu Botella
I'm an avid advocate for the web platform, including web-compatible server-side runtimes. As a full-stack developer, I was always interested in how browsers and runtimes worked under the hood. This led me to read and then contribute to standards, as well as to browsers and to the Deno runtime. Currently, my work at Igalia has me implementing CSS-related things in Chrome, as well as bringing browsers and server-side runtimes closer together as part of WinterCG.
