Where's Backbone, Ember, Coffeescript (the OG transpiled lang), HTML5, CSS3, WASM, ect, etc.
The road to today is paved with many influential projects.
- petercooper 6y agoOnly the first two are JavaScript projects (but do deserve a mention IMHO). The rest are more generally 'web platform' projects, but I think a thorough timeline covering the web platform more generally would be very neat/useful.
- armandososa 6y agoI think Coffeescript is more related to the modern JS flow (with all the transpiling) that Rome is trying to consolidate. But I don't think it's the OG, if memory serves Objective-J was first.
- fireattack 6y agoEmber, Coffeescript, sure, but I won't call HTML5 or CSS3 "best of JS".
- vinnymac 6y agoThe fact that these weren't even mentioned in the text after the diagram was disturbing to me.
- JamesSwift 6y agoAnd browserify, gulp, grunt, babel..
- postalrat 6y agoBabel for sure.
- zachrose 6y agoBackbone especially because it seemed so obvious to so many people that there needed to be an object-oriented "MVC" framework in the browser, and only over 5-10 years of experiencing the sharp edges and missing pieces did unorthodox alternatives (Flux etc) seem interesting.
