ES8 was Released and here are its Main New Features 🔥

ECMAScript 2017 was officially released at the end of June by TC39. It seems that we are talking a lot about ECMAScript in the last year. It’s not for nothing. ES6 is one of the freshest things in the JavaScript world. It is everywhere.

JavaScript is in production, but it is always getting renewed. The process of adopting new features to the specification is very arranged and poised. In the last stage, these features confirmed by the TC39 committee and implemented by the core developers. Most of them are already parts of the TypeScript language, browsers or other polyfills, so we can go and try them right now.

This article was translated into Chinese by Jason Cheng, Japanese by Postd, Russian by habrahabr and Korean by Han JaeYeab.

Facebook’s Prepack — The Next Killer In The JavaScript Zone

In May 2017 the social networks were stormy about Prepack. Prepack is an open-source tool that optimizes JavaScript source code. Computations that can be done at compile-time, instead of run-time, get eliminated. Prepack replaces the global code of a JavaScript bundle with equivalent code that is a simple sequence of assignments. This gets rid of most intermediate computations and object allocations.

Prepack has developed by Facebook and it is under active development. It’s experimental and still in a very early stage, but it is awesome 😱. The vision of Facebook is to leveraging Prepack as a platform. This article introduces Prepack, cover what Facebook wants to solve, see some cool examples and understand the current state of Prepack.

Top Resources to Explore React Fiber

It was in 2014 when Facebook mentioned that its team is working on a new version of React. In the last three years, a developer group at Facebook has been working on that in order to bring us the brand new things of the front end development. Fiber isn’t just a new version of React. Fiber is a rewrite of the core algorithm.

Unlike the rewrite of Angular, Fiber is backward compatible to the “old” React with some small breaking changes, but it can replace the old one easily. This article reviews the top resources to get an update about the new React, explore the highlights of Fiber, cover its architecture and dive deeply into the code base of the changes.

Conclusion

JavaScript is everywhere! This year was very important to the web. The competition of frameworks, tools, and resources make good things for us. The stack is bigger and more wealthy. There are many alternatives. It’s a good vibe, but we as developers need to be more focus. I hope that the new year will continue this positive path and make our web interesting like in the past year.
