On the blog he writes long form essays about the history and future of JavaScript, ECMAScript standards, the open web, browser engines, WebAssembly, tokens and the metaverse economy, and why projects like Mozilla matter for the web’s independence. Many posts expand on his conference keynotes, such as the evolution from asm.js to WebAssembly or behind the scenes stories about Netscape, HTML5, and JavaScript’s early years. More recent entries touch on decentralized rendering, watermarking, and domain specific tokens like BAT and RNDR.
