Facebook Platform Testing More Standard JavaScript Spec for Developers

Facebook is testing a major update to its FBJS JavaScript spec called FBJS2 that should make FBJS both easier to learn and maintain. Essentially, FBJS2 uses more standard JavaScript syntax than the original version.

As Facebook’s Marcel Georges Laverdet writes,

Today we are announcing a preview of a major update to FBJS. We’re calling this FBJS2. We’ve completely rewritten FBJS from the ground-up to make it much more natural for Javascript developers – now you will be able to use more standard Javascript syntax and no longer be required to use proprietary function-based getters and setters.
