There's a whole section on PhoneGap/Cordova, where, ignoring creation date, even most of the milestone years are outside the "the last decade" timeframe. It's a very strange decision, and leads to things like gjs only being mentioned as an afterthought, which exemplifies the major blind spot that people who came out of the NPM world have for the use of JS in stuff like Firefox (which was doing Electron before Electron) and Gnome (if you've used Gnome in the last 10 years, you've seen JS in action on the desktop). The best explanation for this is that the latter two are so successful at doing what they aim to accomplish that people don't even know it's there, and when things are more about getting things done than they are about hype, then the hype crowd of course fixates on the hyped stuff instead (no matter how short-lived or obviously-doomed-from-the-start).
