Speaker: Alexander Lichter, Debbie O'BrienExpertise: IntermediateDuration: 30 min

The JavaScript ecosystem is massive and so is the work happening behind the scenes to make it faster, leaner, and more modern. In this live panel, library authors, framework maintainers, and tooling creators come together on stage for a thorough conversation about ecosystem performance, in all of its facets and shapes.

Each panelist brings their own active work: From trimming dependency trees in a framework to replacing legacy packages to building the next generation of tooling.

Of course, the audience will have the chance to ask questions and get into the nitty-gritty of how these improvements are made, what the future holds, and how we can all contribute to a faster JavaScript ecosystem.
