JavaScript was created in 10 days in 1995 by Brendan Eich for Netscape Navigator to allow dynamic interactions on web pages. Originally called Mocha, it was renamed JavaScript to capitalize on the popularity of Java at the time despite having no relation. Microsoft later created its own version called JScript. In 1996-1997, JavaScript was standardized as ECMAScript, with ECMAScript 3 becoming the baseline for modern JavaScript and the latest version being ECMAScript 6 from 2015.

History of JavaScript
- 2. History of JavaScript ● JavaScript was created in 10 days by Brendan Eich. ● Netscape navigator, the web browser, wanted a “glue language”, to use images etc. with HTML. ● JavaScript’s original name was Mocha. ● JavaScript has nothing to do with Java. ● Java was famous at that time, hence the name “JavaScript” was chosen, to ride on Java’s success. ● Microsoft created a reverse-engineered version of JavaScript, know as JScript.
- 3. ECMAScript ● In 1996 - 1997 JavaScript was taken to ECMA to carve out a standard specification. ● ECMAScript is the name of the official standard, with JavaScript being the most well known of the implementations. Other implementation includes ActionScript 3. ● ECMAScript 2 was released in 1998, ECMAScript 3 (baseline for modern day JS) was released in 1999, ECMAScript 5 was released in december 2009. ● ECMAScript 4 never happened. ● We are at ECMAScript 6 (Officially: ECMAScript 2015), also know as ES6.
