summary

Tracks JavaScript from 1993 Mosaic to ES2016, explaining concrete turning points: Netscape embeds a quick language called Mocha built in ten days, renamed LiveScript then JavaScript for marketing, Microsoft avoids Spyglass royalties by shipping IE and renaming its copy JScript, Netscape adds DOM image control and DHTML layers, server-side LiveWire server appears, ActionScript and Harmony split then reconcile, strict mode and the Babel transpiler workflow enable staged ECMAScript evolution.
