Even without JS there&#x27;s been a lot of changes over the years... in ASP.Net from 1.0 was a big mess, by 3.x it was nice, then came MVC, paradigm shift... that coupled with additions to C# and VS.  There&#x27;s been similar changes to Java, Python and others over the years too.  Let alone Ruby which would never have gained ground if it weren&#x27;t for Rails.<p>I will say for a 20 year old language, JavaScript has grown more in the past 6 years than it&#x27;s first 14, and a lot of that is thanks to Node&#x2F;npm.
