Closure Library, Go Language and JSConf.EU Google this past week has released a couple of JavaScript related gems (or lumps of coal depending on how you look at it): Closure and Go. We will have an open discussion on Closure, what it is and the JavaScript community's opinions on it so far and we'll also touch on Go. Go, although not a JavaScript library or even pure JavaScript, is a language that is expressive enough that some have posited it to "replace JavaScript". Will have a go with Go. ;-)
Also, Kyle Simpson has returned from his speaking engagement in Berlin at JSConf EU. He will be speaking on "Loading JavaScript: Even a caveman can do it." Covered topics will include the new 1.0 release of LABjs, Mincir (soon to be released project) for minification post- optimization, and other techniques for improving how you load JavaScript assets into your page/application. He will also review a few other JS bits picked up at JSConf.EU.
