Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript, has posted a couple of interesting updates: first, this
roadmap update talks about the plans for
Firefox 2.0. They plan to release Firefox 2 in less than a year, and will be concurrently developing the platform for
Firefox 3.
Second, he just posted some JavaScript 2 Design
Notes, in particular about the data typing of the next version of JavaScript. Be sure to read the comments because
Brendan goes into more detail about backward compatibility there.
