25 Minute Presentation - In Person Application Development and Deployment

Description

It’s now mid-2026 and who doesn’t want to use types to make their medium-large JavaScript codebase easier to statically analyze? We’ll talk about some of the efforts to make it easier to write GNOME apps in TypeScript. And perhaps some exciting new debugging capabilities! Besides that, there’ll be a sneak peek of what to expect from the annual JS engine upgrade, and as usual some juicy project ideas if YOU want to get involved.
