There's not much boilerplate for drawing in JS which every computer has installed.

- the_af 6y agoI get what you're saying, but microcomputers of that era felt more like appliances. It was like switching on a radio. You plugged it in, switched it on, and there it was the prompt greeting you, ready for typing your program. And -- get this -- there was no shutdown procedure either. You just switched it off! For javascript in the browser you still have a complex stack, including a pretty complex operating system, which must have been booted up first.
