JavaScript has come a long way since its first release 30 years ago, and it remains one of the most influential technologies in modern software engineering. What began as a lightweight scripting language for browsers now powers everything from intuitive user interfaces to large-scale, cloud-native systems.
To mark the anniversary, we’ve created an infographic that brings together ten curious facts, enduring quirks and recent trends that reflect both the language’s history and its constant reinvention. It includes fresh survey insights, behaviour in the language that still catches newcomers off guard, and a look at why JavaScript continues to sit at the heart of so many web and cloud workloads.
