may 9, 1995 - Javascript

Description:

The creator of Javascript, Brendan Eich, was given ten days to create a light programming language for easier programming. As it is still in popular use today, the original "Mocha" has left a lasting impact on the world. Javascript has the same basic purpose and functions as Python but a different scripting style. For all the same reasons, I believe it played an extremely important role in the history of computer science.
