history-of-javascript's Introduction

History of JavaScript

About a year ago I had prepared talk about Modularity In JS. Then after some time I had decided to write article on this topic. It was a really fun process. To do the article more legit I contacted with stellar people from JS community and TC39 on twitter. In the process of research of JS modularity I figured out other facts about history of JS, that can be interesting to someone else.

Anyway the knowing of history of anything can give us a lot in the perspective and it's always interesting to know what persons are stand behind the particular technology. So I've decided to write a series of independent articles about JavaScript history. And who knows maybe in the future it will become a book. Anyway for me personally it's fun to figure out some facts and to learn something new about technology that I use everyday.

There is only one article at this moment ;). Because I write in my spare time and this process is not so fast as I would wanted.

Nevertheless, current plan is a series of this articles:

  1. Early Years of JavaScript (empty)
  2. Short History of UI Toolkits (empty)
  3. Rise of MVC (empty)
  4. Evolution of JS Modularity
  5. Bundlers as They Are (empty)
  6. Let's Transpile It (empty)
  7. Functional JavaScript (empty)
  8. Asynchronous JS: Fight with Complexity (work in progress)

Let's figure out the history of an emerging one of the most prevalent technologies to date.

P.S. As I am not native English speaker you can find some grammatical or other issues don't hesitate to help me out and do pull request with fixes ;)

history-of-javascript's Issues

Release chapters as releases

It would be great if you could update with tags/releases as new content is written. For me, I subscribe to releases RSS feed.

Functional programming chapter

My proposal is introduce into history of functional js via libraries and languages that transpiled into js. For example now I see history lool like this.

Libraries:

  • Underscore/Lodash, Oct 25, 2009
  • RamdaJS, Jun 16, 2013
  • etc.

Languages:

  • ClosureScript May 29, 2011
  • Elm, First appeared in 2012
  • PureScript, Sep 29, 2013
  • etc.

Then in chapter could be explain the aim of each of them and how it influences on JS.
And what was new in es6 in result.

By the way there's a good awesome page

Not Snake Case

Proposing to change the name of this repo to history-of-javascript (as conventionally on GitHub).

In any case history_of_javascript doesn't seem very much like a thing a JavaScript person would call ๐Ÿ™‰
