πŸŽ‰ JavaScript Turns 30 Years Old

Back in May 1995, a 33 year old Brendan Eich built the first prototype of JavaScript in just ten days, originally codenamed Mocha (and then LiveScript). On December 4, 1995, Netscape and Sun Microsystems officially announced 'JavaScript' in a press release as "an easy-to-use object scripting language designed for creating live online applications that link together objects and resources on both clients and servers."

Over thirty years, JavaScript has cemented its place at the heart of the Web platform, and more broadly in desktop apps, operating systems (e.g. Windows' use of React Native), mobile apps, and even on microcontrollers.
