Much Needed Google Chrome Updates Cause Websites Load Faster
- Ryan Dahl, creator of Node.js and Deno, has filed a petition to cancel the 'JavaScript' trademark held by Oracle, claiming that JavaScript is an open standard that should not be controlled by Oracle. The broader debate about whether widely used tech terms should be controlled by one entity is also discussed.
- The Temporal object in JavaScript replaces the clunky Date object, making date and time management more reliable and precise. It includes methods for conversions, comparisons, and formatting and ensures consistent handling of time-sensitive data and internationalization. Currently Firefox leads the way with browser support, with Chrome and Safari still in development.
- The issue of main thread blocking in JavaScript, where a long-running task freezes the web page, can be addressed using setTimeout(), requestAnimationFrame(), or Web Workers. Using these methods, JavaScript tasks can remain efficient and provide a smoother user experience.
- React-EXE, a tool designed to execute React components on the fly, allowing for live code previews, interactive documentation, or code playground. It seamlessly integrates external libraries like Tailwind CSS and Framer Motion and allows for custom styling of components.
- Chrome's new DOM manipulation tool, moveBefore, avoids things such as iframes reloading or losing focus when elements are moved. This preserves state for better user experience.
- The latest tools making waves this week include pnpm 10.2, Turborepo 2.4, tinygradient 2.0, Fuse.js 7.1, and RE2JS, all of which help with Javascript development and functionality.
