Javascript was created for/because of ad tech? Source?
- pilsetnieks 6y agoIf anything, I'd attribute the popularity of (client-side) Javascript to the iPhone for inspiring the industry to kill off Flash, and iOS has to be the most hostile (relatively) OS to advertising.
- jedberg 6y agoNo it wasn't created for ad tech, but it really took off because of ad tech.
- chasd00 6y agoin my mind, it was whoever decided to start using XMLHttpRequest and then jquery that made people start looking closer at Javascript. Prior to those two things, Javascript was not taken seriously at all.
