Cool presentation, but holy shit, taking ~2 minutes to load on FF and freezing the browser is not.

Do you have any extensions installed? It took less than 2 seconds to load for me in a blank Firefox profile, which isn't particularly long for any website with a decent number of images on my connection.

My only complaint is that the animations make me seasick - I wish there were an obvious way to turn them off.

I had same problem on Chrome. Have a lot of extensions, but other websites are fine.

Welcome to the modern web, where bad technologies (JS, HTTP, CSS and others) are developed to the max and declared modern despite always remaining bad technologies

I just wish the best language would win, not the accidentally ubiquitous one. And giving a real choice of language would been even better.

Nice presentation but some of those slides are useless without notes or audio to explain what's going on. I like looking at code snippets as much as the next guy but without context I'd much rather admire my own code.

In fairness, taking 2 minutes to load and freezing the browser is a pretty darned good summary of Javascript at 20.
