Mark Rendle: How JavaScript Happened
Ғылым және технология
JavaScript was famously created in 10 days as a proof-of-concept for Netscape Navigator 2.0. Today it is one of the most-used languages in the world. Some people even like it. In this talk we will chart the path from the dark days before programming languages, through the ups and downs of the early pioneers, all the way to 1995 and the creation of JavaScript.
We will meet the giants on whose shoulders Brendan Eich stood, and speculate about what they might think of modern JavaScript. You will learn interesting things about language design (good and bad), computer internals (weird), and committees (just bad). You’ll see FizzBuzz implemented at least a dozen times. It’ll be fun.
Recorded at the London .NET User Group meetup, 15 February 2024.

This is fascinating Love it ❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Mark! You opinions on programming languages largely parallel my own. Great to hear my own thoughts echoed. But what about Pascal -> Object Pascal? C# implements many things first found in Object Pascal, doesn't it?
6:10 they probably didn’t have to capture an enigma it was a commercial machine sold before the war.
Rachael Maddow here on MSNBC just reported that the US captured a German U Boat and there was an Enigma machine on it and that helped the US know what the German military were up to.
Sound level is really low. Barely can hear that and have to switch to speakers from headphones to be able to hear anything :|

Sorry about that. We'll crank up the gain next time.
If NULL is a billion dollars' mistake - how much is UNDEFINED... LOL... But after making fun of Go the speaker gotta reboot the TV to fix it just like one would shutdown and restart WINDOWS
