In addition to icedchai's comment, there are two more issues worth quibbling about what's written here:
It's odd to say something like "REST was introduced in 2000 by Fielding", since it makes it sound like support for a feature. But REST is just a description of how the Web works. Fielding's dissertation is a retrospective, documenting what the real work of standardization at IETF and among browser makers and server distributions had already earlier enabled.
Secondly, JS was workable performance-wise in the early 2000s in Netscape 6, even without a JIT.
