JavaScript Metaprogramming

Explore the world of JavaScript metaprogramming in this conference talk from NDC London 2022. Dive into the concept of metadata and its importance in managing complexity within systems. Discover how ES6 enhances JavaScript's metaprogramming capabilities through the introduction of Symbol, Reflect, and Proxy types. Learn about practical applications of these types and their role in shaping modern language features. Gain insights into how metaprogramming allows for code inspection and manipulation, bringing similar benefits to software as metadata does to data management. Through examples and explanations, understand how these concepts can be applied to improve your JavaScript programming skills and create more efficient, flexible code.
