JavaScript’s popularity is unmatched — it powers nearly every application environment, from browsers to servers and everything in between. As Atwood’s Law says, “Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.” But with this widespread adoption comes a challenge: interoperability.
Groups like the OpenJS Foundation Package Metadata Interoperability collaboration space and the Web-interoperable Server Runtimes Technical Committee (WinterTC, or ECMA TC55) are tackling this challenge head-on by bringing together contributors from across the ecosystem.
In this talk, Ethan Arrowood, active member of the OpenJS Foundation, WinterTC, and Node.js contributor, explores recent developments, ongoing challenges, and opportunities in JavaScript interoperability. Attendees will gain insight into how open source community groups operate, how to get involved, and how collaboration is shaping the future of JavaScript interoperability.
