Four Eras of JavaScript Frameworks

In 2010 it made it very easy to share libraries which helped Node grow in popularity. I don’t believe it was possible to do anything like this in Rhino without Java packages but I could be wrong. Certainly it wasn’t as easy as with npm.

Maybe it didn’t have package signing, lock files, or deduping, but clearly it was popular in spite of those faults.

There was Narwhal, which was on Rhino and had a package manager (CommonJS as well.) But it got overtaken by Node pretty quickly.
