Significant JavaScript projects from 2006 to 2020

Nice summary. Deno v1 was only released this year though: May 13, 2020

For those that are disappointed at the omissions in the timeline:

Reasoning kind of dumb, since this could have been a much more impactful post, but glad they laid out their reasoning. They missed some major precursors to the web we know to day -- Node Webkit existed before Electron IIRC, there's stuff like MooTools, Ember has been around basically forever (and SproutCore before that), Backbone isn't mentioned, KnockoutJS started the MVVM craze IIRC. In more recent time, they left out Parcel which is by far the easiest bundler I've ever used, JSPM & SystemJS were left out as well.

I wonder if there's a better timeline out there for the history of JS tooling.

Given the disclaimer at the end, they predicted people would be unsatisfied with the omissions... They were right

Still looking for stuff to replace Wordpress and jQuery in this area. This trend is cool but requires a technical hurdle way bigger than before with lots of tradeof (backward compatibility/easy introduction to programming/performances on frontend).

Ember, Coffeescript, sure, but I won't call HTML5 or CSS3 "best of JS".
