We are THRILLED to announce that our Ecma standards will now use UUIDs instead of integers.

ECMA-262 is now ECMA-39c506d7-731f-4220-8ffd-a68970945a65.

Far more scalable. No two specs will ever collide again. Perfect system.

Shortened forms like ECMA-39c506d7 are acceptable in casual conversation.

Last week we were able to present @robpalmer.bsky.social with his physical Ecma Recognition Award! 🎉 This was followed by an extensive round of tributes and praise, which Rob endured somewhat uncomfortably, at every opportunity urging us to cease and attend to the waiting celebratory Temporal cake.

Deno is committed to web standards - that's why we co-founded WinterCG two years ago. Today marks the next step in that journey: WinterCG moves to Ecma International as technical comittee 55 (TC55).

Goodbye WinterCG, welcome WinterTC!

I've been working for a long time alongside different folks to spread the word about web standards, how JavaScript is standardized and help improve how responsive we are to the needs of developers.

The Class Gap in Career Progression: Evidence from US Academia

Class is rarely a focus of research or DEI in elite US occupations.

Evidence suggests it should be: we find a large class gap in at least one occupation - tenure-track academia...🧵

Hey Bluesky, how should I celebrate (derogatory) when I take possession of the Ecma presidency on January first (presumably at midnight Geneva time)?
