Today's Talk covers native features in browsers, including upcoming ones and the Interop Project. Native features offer speed, compatibility, and improved debugging. Notable examples include dynamic viewport units, flexbox/grid gap, container queries, and motion path. The Interop Project ensures consistent web platform features across different browsers. Upcoming features like native CSS nesting and entry/exit animations are on the horizon.

The Talk discusses the basics of building a JS engine, highlighting the complexity and feature completeness of existing engines. It emphasizes the possibility of creating a simpler engine tailored to specific use cases and target audiences. The speaker suggests starting anywhere in the process and provides tips on using parser libraries, implementing runtime features, and ensuring correctness through testing. Additionally, the Talk encourages exploring JavaScript standards and engaging with the open-source community.

This talk focuses on practical approaches for testing Node.js applications, including the use of Dora metrics and the testing trophy strategy. It emphasizes the importance of covering critical flows with integration and end-to-end tests, while also considering the cost and speed of different test types. The speaker recommends mocking third-party services and using snapshot testing, but warns about the potential for false positives. Playwright is suggested as a preferred tool, and the importance of automated test execution is emphasized.

I'll speak today about the Temporal proposal, which adds modern date and time handling to JavaScript. Temporal is an API that'll be available in browsers soon and will add a built-in library for dates and times, avoiding the need for external libraries like Moment. It offers strong typing with different types for different data, such as calendar dates with or without time. Temporal objects are immutable and designed to work with JavaScript's internationalization facilities. It addresses deficiencies in the global Date object and introduces types like instant and plain types for accurate representation of time and dates across time zones. With the old Date, representing a date without a time can be problematic, especially in time zones where midnight is skipped due to daylight saving time. Temporal introduces types like PlainDate, PlainTime, PlainYearMonth, PlainMonthDay, and ZonedDateTime to accurately represent different scenarios. Additionally, there is a type called Duration for arithmetic operations and unit conversion. Now that I've introduced you to the cast of characters in Temporal, it's time to show how to accomplish a programming task. We'll start with an easy task: getting the current time as a timestamp in milliseconds using the instant type. To convert between Temporal types, you can either drop or add information. The toZonedDateTime method is used for conversion and requires adding a time zone and a time. Although Temporal objects are immutable, you can create new objects with replaced components using the with method. Migrating from the old Date object to Temporal offers a more reliable solution and avoids potential bugs. Check out the documentation for more details and enjoy using Temporal in your codebase!

The OpenJS Foundation supports the entire JavaScript ecosystem and thousands of open source projects. They follow a neutral nonprofit organization with separate business and technical governance to minimize drama. Rebooting governance and addressing intellectual property can also help reduce conflicts. OpenJS provides collaboration spaces and support in various areas for open source projects. They foster a collaborative environment and invite participation in their projects.
