I'm trying to understand why Javascript won the browser.
There were tens of other languages one could have added in a browser, and yet this particular one, which wasn't even an established language but a new one, ended up being implemented in browsers.
How did that happen? If you were implementing Netscape or IE back then, what was going through your mind when you sat down implementing version one?
