I'm sure fireship has a condensed video about javascript

zoi (13:10:31)
they started with a half-assed interpreter and turns out the specifications are batshit

zoi (13:10:11)
first you write specifications, then you make a compiler/interpreter

zoi (13:09:56)
yeah, they started in the wrong end

zoner (13:09:05)

it was thought through in the span of a couple weeks.

zoi (13:08:24)
but the language just wasn't thought through before it was standardized, and now we all suffer because of it

zoner (13:08:19)
there have indeed been herculean efforts to make javascript very very fast. money talks.

zoi (13:07:47)
modern JIT compilers do run javascript pretty quickly. most backends developed today probably run on node.js
