Thank you for the links and the explanation, I appreciate it.
The lesson here is a bigger one: how new tech wins a race when it's chased by a big monster truck. Javascript got out there fast/first, looked familiar, and sidestepped conventions.
That Javascript went to ECMA for standardization, to push back on Microsoft, was a nice touch.
