Modern JavaScript

" summary

Argues JavaScript needs concrete infrastructure: a commodity core of DOM/AJAX/array APIs, a standardized module system and interoperable dependency management rather than endless new microlibraries. Cites historical seedling-mile strategy, points to concrete work like AMD module system, Dojo’s migration, and promises landing in jQuery as real progress, warns about duplication and bytes on the wire, and urges education, demos, and pressure for library-agnostic dependency management so best-of-breed pieces can actually be mixed.
