Nice article. But I think something what makes js more fav for devs.

Maybe I'll do another one on PWAs or NPM ... #ideas
How JavaScript dominated the web:
Its literally our only option, otherwise it would've been replaced decades ago.
I like the post though!
But it's changing today. Vanilla JS is not the only option anymore.
We now have TypeScript, Dart, Kotlin and some other languages which "compile" into vanilla JS. Google even tried to get Dart into Chromium but didn't succeed. But it is already possible to use another language than JS and don't care about the final (generated) JS code.
Great post
I'm so glad you liked it!
That just make studying history fun😀. Great Article
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I worked hard to add some fun and enthusiasm to the post!
Javascript used to be interpreted. Now it's compiled.
Yes and no... at runtime, JavaScript is still an interpreted language, however it is true most web apps today are run through compiliers. Frameworks like React, Next JS, Gatsby, Angular and Vue all use JavaScript compilers like Babel and Webpack to optimize JavaScript source code and minimize bundle sizes to make help it run more efficiently at Runtime, but the when a browser is running JavaScript code, it is still interpreted.
