It’s an awesome show and we’re huge fans of Saron and the team behind the podcast, so we wanted to share it with you.

A mission to set the course of the world wide web in its early days. 10 days to get it done. The result? An indispensable language that changed everything.
JavaScript was the underdog that won against all odds. Clive Thompson recounts the browser wars and how much the fallout influenced the future of the internet. Charles Severance explains how JavaScript went from a last-minute moonshot to the default web development language. Michael Clayton confesses he, like many others, underestimated JavaScript. And Klint Finley describes a gloomy internet without it.
