Please keep in mind the date and that there are many things that are a bit dated in the video! I cringe a bit whenever this comes up — I’m sure others can relate :)
I'd be interested to see numbers comparing the amount of server-side J(ava)Script to client-side in the decade up to 2005, because it was as common as Perl or PHP for much of the first part of my career.

Fascinating that Bloomberg started adopting server-side JS in 2005 and client-side JS only in 2012.
And that they use their own deno-like JS engine.
The server-side JS architecture created in 2005 was presented at JSConf 2011 by Andrew Paprocki.

The talk describes the system architecture and shows how the IDE is used to create applications.

Server side JavaScript exists since the language was introduced, Netscape had an application server that used it.
