This links to the manual "The NeWS Book: An Introduction to the Network/extensible Window System".<p>NeWS is a windowing system based on PostScript, so this title is more correct as "A decade before there was JavaScript, there was PostScript".<p>Or, more meaningfully (and paraphrasing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS</a> ) a decade before AJAX there was NeWS.
