3 days agoJavaScript's trademark problem
During its lifetime, JavaScript has had several names: During development, its name was Mocha. In the Netscape Navigator 2.0 betas (September 1995), it was called LiveScript. In Netscape Navigator 2.0 beta 3 (December 1995), it got its most common name, JavaScript. Why that name? JavaScript was going to be a glue language for components written in Java. The first standard for JavaScript was published in 1997, hosted by Ecma International (called ECMA at the time).
