How the fuck has JavaScript lasted three years, let alone 30?

Because it's easier to constantly improve an existing standard than getting the major players to work together to agree on a new standard.

And also because JS has come a long way. Its runtimes are way faster than they have any right to be, and it's hacky enough that you can warp it into almost any workflow you want.
