Episode 10: Javascriptocalypse

What if you wanted to write a fancy in-browser app but were less than enthusiastic about the Javascript ecosystem?

In This Episode:

• Namespaces and the jQuery trick
• Punting on the whole issue and using (ahem) ClojureScript
• Javascript as the assembly of the web
• As Java begat JVM languages, so JavaScript begat JSVM languages?
• The appropriately named EcmaScript and its versions and implementations.

Links:

• Clojure (I should just build this into the template.)
• Scala
• ClojureScript
• Scala.JS: » presentation, » infoq & » hackernews.
• CoffeeScript
• LispyScript: » hackernews.
• asm.js
• PhoneGap
• Building an iOS weather app with Angular and ClojureScript

What is it with all this CamelCase. Aren’t we done with that yet?
