Iterative Development and Evolution of Programming Ecosystems

Programming ecosystems evolve over time through iterative development processes where initial ideas are implemented quickly in languages like JavaScript or bash, gaining a better understanding of the problem being solved. As developers progress, they may rewrite the code and migrate it to more structured languages like Rust. In the case of JavaScript, the ecosystem has significantly evolved in the last 15 years, now with a well-established system like NPM, which was pioneered by Isaac Schluter. This evolution reflects a deeper understanding of the needs and components of the JavaScript ecosystem, providing a solid foundation for future developments in the field.
