The History of JavaScript and TypeScript — You Know How to Code It, But Do You Know Its History?

JavaScript and TypeScript have revolutionized web development since JavaScript's creation in 1995. JavaScript enabled interactive web experiences, while TypeScript later added static typing and improved tooling. Key developments include the standardization of JavaScript through ECMAScript, the introduction of AJAX for dynamic web pages, and the creation of Node.js for server-side JavaScript. TypeScript, introduced in 2012, addressed JavaScript's scalability challenges in large applications. Today, both languages are essential for building modern, scalable web applications.
