Abstract
In low level languages, primitives exist for memory management. Despite the C-like syntax, JavaScript is garbage collected, causing many front end developers to feel it does a great job of memory management for us. But how does it actually work and does it work how we think it does? This session will discuss memory management in JavaScript (compared to other languages) and what is really going on behind your browser. Using an Ember.js application, we will also discuss best practices to optimize our code, how JavaScript and Ember optimizes for us, and ways we can address common pain points.
