2nd Generation JavaScript -Geertjan Wielenga (FOSDEM'20 Talk)

Geertjan Wielenga, author of the book Developer, Advocate!, and Oracle developer focusing on NetBeans and Oracle JET recalled the evolution of JavaScript frameworks and libraries in the past decades. Dojo (1.x), Mootools, Extjs, jQuery, and YUI were among the first libraries to get traction and help developers build web applications. Backbone, Knockout, Ember, Angularjs (not to be confused with Angular) then appeared, to solve common problems that developers were facing when building ever more interactive web applications. Grunt, Gulp, Brunch, and other build tools also came to life to manage the developing complexity of building, bundling and packaging rich web applications.

Here is the video link of Geertjan's take on 2nd Generation JavaScript from FOSDEM’20 talk.
