A talk by Gary Bernhardt from Py Con 2014
This science fiction / comedy / completely serious talk traces the history of Java Script, and programming in general, from 1995 until 2035. It's not pro- or anti-Java Script; the language's flaws are discussed frankly, but its ultimate impact on the industry is tremendously positive. For Gary's more serious (and less futuristic) thoughts on programming, try some Destroy All Software screencasts.
