I'm not that surprised about the beginning. The year 2010 was when 'Apple killed Flash' and a lot of developers were switching from ActionScript to JavaScript (both being ECMAScript). In ActionScript I was using as3-signals by Robert Penner (inspired by QT). When I went back to JavaScript I traded it for js-signals by Miller Medeiros. (there's also Robotlegs)
I've always loved signals, especially for smaller, framework-less projects. So I am surprised about it making a comeback in the bigger frameworks. Although signals now is a bit different; more state, less pub/sub.
