The JavaScript Jabber podcast discusses recent advancements in JavaScript, emphasizing a resurgence in new features after a lull. Host Charles Max Wood and guest Dan Shapiro highlight the importance of these developments amidst the broader focus on frameworks, CSS, and HTML. They also clarify that the formal specification of JavaScript is known as ECMAScript, reflecting its standardization process. By revisiting past discussions, they provide insights into what has changed and what has remained constant in the JavaScript landscape.
