Jenna Zeigen – What if your brain were ~*literally*~ JavaScript [Reject.JS 2015]

Reject.JS 2015 – Berlin, September 24, 2015 Jenna Zeigen (@zeigenvektor) # What if your brain were ~*literally*~ JavaScript Computers and brains are often used as metaphors for one another, but how exactly does JavaScript stack up against the human mind?
