DrupalCon New Orleans 2016: Drupal (admin) as an application: More JavaScript in core?

This talk explores the evolving landscape of JavaScript frameworks in relation to Drupal and the impact on user experiences for both developers and users. The speaker discusses the advantages of JavaScript-driven administration, such as improved performance through client-side rendering and a more modern front-end development experience, while also addressing potential disadvantages like delays in initial content rendering and integration challenges. The session considers whether Drupal requires a new JavaScript framework or library to enhance its capabilities, as well as alternate approaches to optimize server interactions using modern PHP and JavaScript technologies. Moderated by Dani Nordin and facilitated by Marc Drummond and Preston So, this discussion seeks to define next steps for improving the developer experience and adapting to the rapid evolution of the JavaScript ecosystem.
