Radoslav Stankov - History of JavaScript

JavaScript is all the rage right now, but it wasn't always like that. For decades people thread it is a toy language. Why is that? How did that change? As most in many aspects of life looking backward can help us move forward.

Rado is a web developer with 15+ years of experience, currently leading engineering efforts at Product Hunt (by Angel List). Lately, he is juggling between Ruby, Javascript, and Elixir projects, with the belief that it’s equally important to work both on the frontend and on the backend. Organizer of React.Sofia meetup, React.NotAConf and NotAHackathon.
