A decade before there was JavaScript, there was NeWS [pdf] (bitsavers.trailing-edge.com) 1 points by stevewilhelm 6y ago ↗ HN
[–] eesmith 6y ago ↗ This links to the manual "The NeWS Book: An Introduction to the Network/extensible Window System".NeWS is a windowing system based on PostScript, so this title is more correct as "A decade before there was JavaScript, there was PostScript".Or, more meaningfully (and paraphrasing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS ) a decade before AJAX there was NeWS.
