Monday, October 21, 13

Preconceived ideas.

Monday, October 21, 13

A few examples.

Monday, October 21, 13

JavaScript is for “scripting” only.

Monday, October 21, 13

Monday, October 21, 13

asmjs.organ extraordinarily optimizable, low-level subset of JavaScript

Monday, October 21, 13

JavaScript is not object-oriented.

Monday, October 21, 13

ES6

//  entities.jsmodule  entities  {                export  class  Person  {

           private  message  =  "Hi  my  name  is  ";

           constructor  (public  name,  public  age,  public  town){                    this.name  =  name;                    this.age  -­‐  age;                    this.town  =  town;            }

           talk(){                    return  this.message  +  this.name;            }

           get  isAbove18(){                    return  this.age  >=  18;            }}

Monday, October 21, 13

But what if I want static-typing?

Monday, October 21, 13

www.typescriptlang.org

Monday, October 21, 13

//  entities.jsmodule  entities  {                export  class  Person  {

           private  message  :string  =  "Hi  my  name  is  ";

           constructor  (public  name:  string,  public  age:  number,  public  town:  string){                    this.name  =  name;                    this.age  -­‐  age;                    this.town  =  town;            }

           talk(){                    return  this.message  +  this.name;            }

           get  isAbove18(){                    return  this.age  >=  18;            }}

Monday, October 21, 13

Which will generate plain ES5 compatible JS.

Monday, October 21, 13

var  Person  =  (function  ()  {        function  Person(name,  age,  town)  {                this.name  =  name;                this.age  =  age;                this.town  =  town;                this.message  =  "Hi  my  name  is  ";                this.name  =  name;                this.age  -­‐  age;                this.town  =  town;        }        Person.prototype.talk  =  function  ()  {                return  this.message  +  this.name;        };

       Object.defineProperty(Person.prototype,  "isAbove18",  {                get:  function  ()  {                        return  this.age  >=  18;                },                enumerable:  true,                configurable:  true        });        return  Person;})();
