How JavaScript evolved (in 30 seconds)?

This is how JavaScript evolved over all these years. This video contains no sound but gives you a context of how JavaScript started as a language first, and then backed up by a standard (ECMAScript).

It also demonstrates that the long period when there were no changes made to the language, and now, we get new JavaScript features every year as part of new ECMAScript editions.

Hope this helps!

So we should also thank Microsoft for JScript...and now for TypeScript
