JavaScript Handbook
HISTORY:
History
Created in 1995, JavaScript has gone a very long way since its humble
beginnings.
It was the first scripting language that was supported natively by web
browsers, and thanks to this it gained a competitive advantage over any other
language and today it's still the only scripting language that we can use to
build Web Applications.
Other languages exist, but all must compile to JavaScript - or more recently to
WebAssembly, but this is another story.
In the beginnings, JavaScript was not nearly powerful as it is today, and it was
mainly used for fancy animations and the marvel known at the time as
Dynamic HTML.
With the growing needs that the web platform demanded (and continues to
demand), JavaScript had the responsibility to grow as well, to accommodate
the needs of one of the most widely used ecosystems of the world.
JavaScript is now widely used also outside of the browser. The rise of Node.js
in the last few years unlocked backend development, once the domain of
Java, Ruby, Python, PHP, and more traditional server-side languages.
JavaScript is now also the language powering databases and many more
applications, and it's even possible to develop embedded applications, mobile
apps, TV sets apps, and much more. What started as a tiny language inside
the browser is now the most popular language in the world.
