I'm not hating on "new" and I'm certainly not advocating "always use ===" Angus Croll (@anguscroll) tag:speakerdeck.com,2005:Talk/25403 2012-11-28T22:54:05-05:00 2012-11-30T03:49:36-05:00 You can spot the tourists a mile away. In Singapore they’re the ones drinking slings at the Raffle’s Long Bar; in JavaScript they’re the ones stuffing their favourite paradigms into a language that never needed them and works better without them. In this talk, your humble tour guide will wander the back alleys of JavaScript in search of native patterns, uncovering the idioms that work with the language instead of fighting it. We’ll visit some fabulous local haunts: mixins, functional expressions, context injection and of course closures, while trying not to make fun of the garish tourist traps (classes, are you listening?)

Many JavaScript sources proclaim (with miraculous certainty) that some tricky language features are anti-patterns that must be avoided at all costs, while offering little or nothing in the way of substantive evidence beyond alarmist warnings or references to their favorite gurus. We shouldn’t ask people to follow rules that we can’t explain or propose actions that we can’t defend. This talk will demonstrate that, whether its double-equals coercion, iteration without hasOwnProperty, augmenting native prototypes or even fraternizing with the evil ‘eval’ and ‘with’, there is a time and place for virtually every feature of JavaScript and taking the time to study and understand their potential will enrich the programming experience, just as a broader vocabulary enriches the speaking experience. The talk will feature copius real life examples drawn from respected libaries and tools.
