Join leading experts for a thought-provoking discussion on how AI is reshaping software development. From agentic IDEs to spec-driven methodologies, this panel will explore tools, trends, and the evolving role of developers in the age of intelligent coding. Audience interaction is encouraged.
The Future of JavaScript is Becoming Smarter
In the ever-evolving world of JavaScript, AI is no longer a distant promise — it’s a reality shaping how we design, write, test, and maintain code. From intelligent autocomplete in your IDE to autonomous agents refactoring entire modules, the developer’s toolbox is being re-imagined. Join a panel of industry leaders for a dynamic conversation about how generative AI is revolutionising JavaScript development workflows — from the front-end to Node.js and beyond.
The XtremeJS 2025 Online Conference
The XtremeJS online conference returns for its 5th edition this December. This year’s highlight: a professional panel dedicated to exploring the impact of generative AI on software development in the JavaScript ecosystem. You’ll gain practical insights, participate in live interaction, and leave with a forward-looking mindset.
Today’s Uses of Generative AI in JavaScript Coding
Generative AI already plays a role across the full-stack web application development workflow.
Code completion & assistance — Tools like GitHub Copilot, Tabnine, and JetBrains’ AI features are helping developers rapidly sketch out logic in React, Vue, Angular or Node.
Project scaffolding & generation — Entire Express, Next.js or React apps (with tests, documentation and CI configuration) can be bootstrapped by AI.
Code review & refactoring — Platforms such as SonarQube AI and other linters now highlight anti-patterns, unused code or optimise performance in JavaScript apps.
Test generation & coverage — AI accelerates generation of unit and integration tests, mocks, and front-end e2e test skeletons for frameworks like Jest or Playwright.
Documentation & code explanation — From React prop-drilling to asynchronous flows in Node.js, AI can generate doc-blocks, README content, or even explain legacy JavaScript code.
Agentic development — Emerging tools empower AI agents to autonomously analyse requirements, refactor modules, implement features and integrate with CI pipelines.
With JavaScript’s ubiquity across front-end, back-end, and serverless, and its rich ecosystem of frameworks and libraries, the language is a fertile ground for AI-driven evolution.
Questions for the Panel
What will the next era of JavaScript development look like? Here are some of the questions from which we will pick some we wipp explore:
How must the JavaScript ecosystem adapt as AI-driven development becomes the norm?
Can agentic IDEs and autonomous tools help manage technical debt in large-scale JS applications?
What core skills will JavaScript developers need in an era dominated by spec-driven and AI-augmented development?
How should teams adopt AI while maintaining code quality, security and readability?
Will we see new architectural patterns emerging (e.g., “AI-first modules”, “agentic micro-front-ends”)?
What ethical, governance and societal implications arise when AI writes or refactors our JavaScript code?
Expect candid real-world experiences from practitioners working at the intersection of AI, front-end frameworks, back-end Node.js and full-stack JavaScript engineering.
