JSConf
I am writing in English and you understand me perfectly well. We share a grammar and, thanks to the internet, an ever-growing vocabulary.
I am writing a new JavaScript program and the computer does not understand the words lodash, jquery or angular. I have to npm install and require these words, and while we’ve grown used to package managers and module systems I began to wonder: Can we do better?
What happens when words like lodash and fibonacci had meaning without a single require, git clone or npm install? In turn, what if every program you write instantly has a word for it that everyone can use?
