A significant portion of the web is powered by ECMAScript. As a web technology, it is ubiquitous and available on most platforms natively or through a web browser. ECMAScript is the dominant language of the web, but at the same time, it was not designed as such. The story of ECMAScript is a story of the impact of…

'Kevin Gibbons' 'John Sarracino' 'Ben Wiedermann' 'Ben Hardekopf'] We describe JSAI, an abstract interpreter for JavaScript. JSAI uses novel abstract domains to compute a reduced product of type inference, pointer analysis, string analysis, integer and boolean constant propagation, and control-flow analysis. In…

While JavaScript established itself as a cornerstone of the modern web, it also constitutes a major tracking and security vector, thus raising critical privacy and security concerns. In this context, some browser extensions propose to systematically block scripts reported by crowdsourced trackers lists. However, this…

'Manuel V. Hermenegildo'] We present and evaluate a compiler from Prolog (and extensions) to JavaScript which makes it possible to use (constraint) logic programming to develop the client side of web applications while being compliant with current industry standards. Targeting JavaScript makes (C)LP programs executable…

BINding ANAlyzer (BINANA) is an algorithm for identifying and characterizing protein/ligand interactions and other factors that contribute to binding. We recently updated BINANA to make the algorithm more accessible to a broader audience. We have also ported the Python3 codebase to JavaScript, thus enabling BINANA…

An increasing number of bioinformatics tools are developed in JavaScript to provide an interactive visual interface to users. However, there are no tools yet that enable fast client-side analysis of large, high-throughput sequencing file formats, such as BAM and VCF files. We present HTSlib-js, an asm.js-based…

Today, third-party JavaScript resources are indispensable part of the web platform. More than 88% of world's top websites include at least one JavaScript resource from a remote host. However, there is a great security risk behind using a third-party JavaScript resource, if an attacker can infect one of these remote…

Background: Node.js is an open-source and cross-platform environment that provides a JavaScript codebase for back-end server-side applications. JavaScript has been used to develop very fast, and user-friendly front-end tools for bioinformatic and phylogenetic analyses. However, no such toolkits are available using…

Visualizing BAM and VCF files is a common task for biologists, but they’re missing a way to filter and to explore the details of each short-read or variation. In that context, we wrote an interactive java-based interface named JfxNgs that uses javascript snippets to filter and reformat BAM and VCF files.…

JavaScript systems are becoming increasingly complex and large. To tackle the challenges involved in implementing these systems, the language is evolving to include several constructions for programmingin-the-large. For example, although the language is prototype-based, the latest JavaScript standard, named ECMAScript…

The SBML standard is used in a number of online repositories for storing systems biology models, yet there is currently no Web–capable JavaScript library that can read and write the SBML format. This is a severe limitation since the Web has become a universal means of software distribution, and the graphical…

For decades, molecular visualization software has been fundamental to education and research in chemistry, structural biology, and materials science. These tools have enabled the inspection of structures, dynamics, and interactions, yet their reliance on two-dimensional (2D) interfaces imposes persistent limitations.…

Social media activity on a research article is considered to be an altmetric, a new measure to estimate research impact. Demonstrating software on Twitter is a powerful way to attract attention from a larger audience. SNS integration of software can also lower the barriers to trying the tools and make it easier to save…
