Summary of the podcast
First we give you a brief update on Web Assembly. As we have been mentioning in the past, Web Assembly is a language like Assembly that is browser independent. It is meant to some out run JavaScript code faster. So the JavaScript code will be compiled into Web Assembly and it will run on the browser fast.
So the next the we will comment just to mention that async and await which are features that EcmaScript 6 are finally available in firefox at least in the nightly build. So that is the news.
Next we are going to talk about a package that is basically a query and a transformation language that is used to manipulate JSON data. So it's called Jsonate the package.
Then we talk about Turbo.js which is a library. I think there was some other library similar or for similar purpose which is to control how to execute tasks using the GPU from JavaScript so you can perform tasks much faster taking advantage of the GPU that may be running on your machine.
Then will be talking about a debug your DOM history using Vorlon.js. Basically it will allow you to to see what changes happen to your pages, what Dom nodes were changed throughout a period of the time.
And finally we have an interesting article about something that I'm not yet sure how it works but it seems interesting. Its called Holographic.js. Its a Windows component to implement Holographic applications.
