The history of JavaScript and ECMAScript is characterized by collaborations and standardization, with ECMAScript ensuring global consistency. Challenges in maintaining standards were highlighted by the abandonment of ECMAScript 4 in 2008.
JavaScript and ECMAScript are often used interchangeably despite ECMAScript being the standardized specification. JavaScript implements environment-specific features, while ECMAScript ensures compatibility across implementations.
JavaScript, originating as 'Mocha' in 1995, evolved through collaborations with Sun Microsystems, leading to standardization in ECMAScript. Today, JavaScript remains one of the most popular scripting languages in web development.
