In order for the Internet to continue to grow and adapt to the way and purposes for
which it was being used, changes were needed. Instead of only sending plain text
data to HTML readers (web browsers), it would be more efficient if there was a way
to add some sort of code to the web pages, so that it could process information while
on the browser. Thus, JavaScript was born.
Today the Web continues to grow both in terms of the amount of people using it, and
in the ways and purposes in which it is used. The good news is that the technologies
that support and run the Web are also growing and evolving, so that new use cases
can be accommodated.
