However, fashions in languages are a thing. While PostScript was hot by the mid 1980s, few were using it 10 years later, as there were now WYSIWYG PostScript editors like Illustrater, XPress, Page Maker, etc. Now, these were the days of C(++) and Perl, as may be observed in the JS syntax. But it would have been nice, if it had started with ECMA script (as opposed to LiveScript) and SVG had been already around.
