The news of the death of JavaScript has been greatly exaggerated

How many times did we read about JavaScript being a bad language, JavaScript being on its way out and that technology X would kill it. In this talk, we will take a look at the lessons learnt from attempts at killing JavaScript. We will start as early as the late 90s where the battle for web-domination was still open. Then we will travel through time to understand the current state of an hypothetical javascript-less web platform.
