Not just Java, other languages (like python) were also released around/near 95, and also seemed to get to "mature" respect status. much quicker.
Java was first released in mid-1995, just 6 months before JS.
By 98, when I went to college, Java was already used for all the first level courses in the CS program.
How did it catch on so quickly (just 3 years) to shift university curriculum, which is usually so slow/behind?

it sure seems like the industry (and academics) just decided Java and C++ were the stable mature ones and langs like JS were toys.
Why wouldn't a university consider teaching JS alongside Java and C++ (and python), given they were all roughly the same age?
They're the "Java" and "C++" of today. They've been chosen.

On press call, Zuckerberg says FB users "naturally engage more with sensational content" that comes close to violating its rules. Compares it to cable TV and tabloids, and says, "This seems to be true regardless of where we set our policy lines."
Zuckerberg says FB is in the process of setting up a "new independent body" that users will be able to appeal content takedowns to. Sort of like the "Facebook Supreme Court" idea he previewed earlier this year.
Zuckerberg: "One of my biggest lessons from this year is that when you connect more than 2 billion people, you’re going to see the good and bad of humanity."
This is how Facebook says it's trying to change the engagement pattern on its services. https://t.co/3p0PGc912o
.@RebeccaJarvis asks Zuckerberg if anyone is going to lose their job over the revelations in the NYT story. He dodges, says that personnel issues aren't a public matter, and that employee performance is evaluated all the time.
