The adoption of WebGL and WebRTC by mobile browsers has allowed to implement feasible augmented reality applications that let you mix 3D scenes rendered on a browser on the top of Webcam captured video.

The the main topics discussed by Manuel Lemos and Arturs Sosins in the episode 76 of the Lately in JavaScript podcast.

They also talked about asynchronous programming coming for all browsers, how to test service workers, formatting console log messages with CSS and templates, using JavaScript without loops, dynamic import of EcmaScript modules, and optimizing JavaScript startup.

This article contains a transcript and a 2 minute video summary of the podcast.

Summary of the podcast

OK, first we are going to just mention that JavaScript you'll finally get proper asynchronous programming with async that is getting to the different platforms on which JavaScript is available.

Then we talk about a service mocker which is basically a way to test service workers without having a server.

Then we talk about something that may be nice that can be used to format the output of console log, at least I guess this is in chrome using CSS and template tags.

Then we talk about a way to implement async and await with generators and promises.

Then we will talk about using JavaScript without loops, I mean without having to manually iterate over elements of arrays collections using different JavaScript constructs.

Then we have an article about Native EcmaScript modules that can be used to dynamically import those modules so you will not have to load them at start time, you can load them dynamically later, and you can even load only parts of it, not all.

And then we have an article on JavaScript startup performance, how it works and how it can be done to somehow optimize and minimize the startup.

Then finally we have a nice interesting solution for augmented reality for the web using AR toolkit.
