JavaScript celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025, emerging from its 1995 inception as a simple script for web interactivity into a critical component of modern web development. Developed in a mere ten days by Brendan Eich for Netscape, it quickly gained traction, shaping the web's landscape through features like the Document Object Model (DOM) in 1996. With early industry backing and the submission to ECMA International in 1997, JavaScript established itself as a foundational technology that continues to evolve and dominate the programming landscape.
In just ten days, Brendan Eich developed JavaScript, a lightweight scripting language that transformed web interactivity, becoming the backbone of the internet.
The introduction of JavaScript 1.0 with Netscape Navigator 2.0 marked a significant evolution, bringing millions of users new capabilities for web interactivity.
