Week 16 (Flowchart 9)

        Flowchart 9 is all about the developer of JavaScript. We know that Netscape is the developer of JavaScript. A company called Netscape was founded in 1994 and created one of the first web browsers. They recruited Eich in 1995, because they wanted him to create a programming language for that web browser. The lure for him was that he would be able to base the language on Scheme (a Lisp dialect). Scheme’s influence led to JavaScript having closures. Another influence was the prototype-based programming language Self which is responsible for JavaScript’s prototypal inheritance (some of the elegance of this approach is hidden by JavaScript’s muddled adoption of it). Next, Java got included in the browser. It quickly gained popularity and influenced Netscape’s decisions regarding JavaScript.
