This is a little-known fact, but Angular 1 was actually released on the same year as FORTRAN II.

As per Wikipedia FORTRAN II appeared in 1958 [1]. Don't remember Javascript being around at that time. Am I missing something?

Just the joke :)

You're missing the joke.

Sarcastic remark

I was just joking, but I appreciate how carefully-worded your reply was :)

Ah, silly me :) I'm not that familiar with the history of Fortran so I thought maybe some cool Fortran reincarnation (hence II) was released a few years ago.
