It’s been a fairly busy for the last couple of months for the Ethereum javascripters. To start with, there was a really great hackathon with IPFS.\u00a0You can read Dan Finlay’s\u00a0excellent write up here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Also, during this time Aaron Davis (Kumavis<\/a>) made some excellent progress towards a JS\u00a0light client by utilizing IPFS’s\u00a0libp2p<\/a> to build a in-browser mesh network and IPLD<\/a> to provide the merklization layer. This will be important work in the future for building pure in-browser clients. Also Casey Detrio<\/a> worked on a standard json RPC test suite, which you can see the results of <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n After the Seattle Meetup, we (Axic<\/a> and Wanderer<\/a>) sat down for a week long hackathon in Budapest to hash out some details of ewasm<\/a>. Elsewhere in JS world, Fabian is doing a huge refactor of Web3.js for the 1.0 release, while Nick Dodson has been busy with ethjs<\/a>. The rest of this post will be charting the various projections that this technology could provide as well as going into some details about each individual project. All these projects are all open source and encourage community participation, so if you are interested please check them out, say hello and send in a PR if you have time!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
