  1. ECMAScript Syntax Graph

    Ever wondered how ECMAScript syntax spec would look like if represented as a graph? Wonder no more - I just built one for fun! Here it is in SVG: If your browser doesn't support SVG, you can view PNG version instead (but be careful on metered connections - it's 3.…

  2. ECMAScript decorators on functions

    This one particular question is being often raised around the usage of the new ECMAScript decorators proposal: why can't I use it for regular function declarations? Well, the answer is simple: hoisting :( Since JS hoists up function declarations, those expressions that you use inside of decorators, depending on proposed "solution"…

  3. Started work on ES6 -> asm.js conversion

    View on GitHub I know this sounds crazy, but I always wondered why do we always give out such a speedup technique as asm.js (it speeds up code in all the modern browsers!) to developers from other languages if we can use it for own code in JavaScript as…

  6. Tail recursion and 6to5

    Just added tail call optimization to 6to5, so it became the first ES6 implementation across all the browsers and transpilers to have this feature: Unfortunately, generic tail call optimization is still too complex thing as for transpiler level and it introduces significant overhead compared to simple calls, so should be…
