There's plenty of interesting historical facts here, but they're interspersed with an emptier and rather sensationalistic writing style that seems to overemphasize the novelty of the various solutions listed. More importantly, the post doesn't seem to answer the question that it poses at the beginning - "It’s not too long until your very toaster will be running JavaScript… but why?" The only answer I got out of it was "Because."

I find the implication in the Moore's law section about performance to be a bit unfortunate. Ideas like this only strengthen Wirth's law. We're talking about plain old JavaScript here, after all, not some hypothetical Smalltalk/Erlang hybrid language with mystic productivity benefits or anything like that.
