JavaScript was famously created in 10 days as a proof-of-concept for Netscape Navigator 2.0. Today it is one of the most-used languages in the world. Some people even like it. In this talk we will chart the path from the dark days before programming languages, through the ups and downs of the early pioneers, all the way to 1995 and the creation of JavaScript.
We will meet the giants on whose shoulders Brendan Eich stood, and speculate about what they might think of modern JavaScript. You will learn interesting things about language design (good and bad), computer internals (weird), and committees (just bad). You’ll see FizzBuzz implemented at least a dozen times. It’ll be fun.

It's late, this comment is what made me not switch to another video and I absolutely don't regret it, very fun talk, the elocution is great and the small wheezes/laughs are endearing

Thank you SOOOOO much, Mark. I learn something every time I watch a talk of yours!!!

First unix was in pdp11 assembler. Then they built C. Multics was in fact quite successful. Large amount of the US dept of defense ran off Multics systems for decades. Many conceps on modern systems came from multics (ring protection, privilege levels..)

8:40 Colossus was not turing complete, ENIAC was (expect, technically for the fact that it had limited memory), if Colossus counts as general porpuse then the german Zuse Z3 should be considered the first computer, as it was build earlier, however it was not really turing complete either.

@sundhaug92 4 месяца назад

Also (IIRC) ENIAC wasn't really Turing-complete until the later iteration

@MarkRendle 4 месяца назад

Colossus was the first programmable digital electronic computer. ENIAC was the first *general-purpose* programmable etc. And the Manchester Baby (SSEM) was the first *stored-program* general-purpose etc. etc.

@@MarkRendle And the Z3 was a programmable digital electricmechanical computer and completed in 1941, 2 years ahead of the Colossus Mk1. Does it really have to be purely electical?

This was awesome!

IIRC part of the reason they made Simula is that they were having problems simulating ship-behavior in water where parameters of one ship would affect the other - so you might have a small sailing-ship with some properties from that huge tanker you were simulating last week

I laugh at the idea of monitors matching print sizes. Hey look at the A3 monitor I got. I think A2 is too big and A4 was so last decade.

58:04 My brother did a PhD in Civil Engineering and defended his thesis last year. His main way of developing dyke simulations he built was in FORTRAN and in ran on a Super computer to crunch the numbers. Very cool but also pretty weird

It was the Poles, mathematicians not technicians, who built the bombe.

@vsenderov 4 месяца назад

Before Eniac there was ABC (first fully electronic computer) and before Colossus there was Konrad Zuze's machine (first electromechanical computer)

how js happened: let's take all the untested language design concepts in one place and make it a worldwide standard, what can go wrong?

Good grief ANOTHER history of Javascript 😂 tell me you didn’t want to do this talk without telling me you didn’t want to do this talk. Copy pasta monsta

>>> And how can we prevent it from happening again... That quote is misleading. Sure there are things that it could have done better... I mean, a lot of things. But at the same time... it is what runs the world. Is a little bit like spreadsheets. You can love them or hate them, but they are key in lots of industries.
