The Nature And Evolution Of JavaScript

Abstract

This thesis documented the essential natures of JavaScript as a programming language and revied the language's evolution, including the purpose of creation and historical events impacted on the language's characteristics. This thesis aimed to be a research paper by extracting the findings from multiple text-based sources and present them in two parts: the foundational definitions of JavaScript and its deposition in computer sciences and a timeline of changes in its usage, related progress, and setback from its conception point of the mid-1990s until the present day. The materials that contribute to the thesis are internet-based articles providing accurate details about historical events and factual, technical information. The author then edits the materials to convey the thesis and the basis for the author's arguments of JavaScript's importance as a programming language. Many of the technical information came from the author's knowledge through education and working experiences. The profile of JavaScript's technical characteristics is analyzed in a decrement at the abstract level. The history of JavaScript is featured according to its timeline. The result is a researched document with coherent evidence to support JavaScript's progress as a programming language. The conclusion is that JavaScript is a rich language and has the sustainability to surpass any limitations it faced to reach new technical horizons.
