Title: JavaScript for VW Applications Speaker: Holger Kleinsorgen & Jan Schümmer Wed, August 20, 11:45am – 12:30pm Description Complex applications benefit from a built-in scripting language that is easy to use and commonly understood. Smalltalk is a cool language for us, but in some cases and for the broad public, JavaScript is more suitable. Up to now there was no JavaScript implementation available for Smalltalk that covers the full JavaScript ECMA 5 standard and shows production quality. In our talk we will present features and implementation details of our JavaScript engine and show how we integrated it into the latest version of our product “k-infinity”. As the engine is available under MIT license in the Cincom public repository, we invite everyone to use it in their own applications. Bio: Holger Kleinsorgen and Jan Schümmer are looking back at more than twenty years of Smalltalk development. They are part of the COAST team (c.f. ESUG 2000), and together with their colleagues at intelligent views they are developing the semantic database k-infinity (c.f. ESUG 2001 and 2002).
