History of JavaScript

During the early years of the web, web pages were only static, with no capability for dynamic behaviour and interactivity.

-> As a result, there was an urge in the web development community at the time to eliminate this limitation.

-> This led Netscape to the decision to add a scripting language to the Navigator browser.

-> In September 1995, a Netscape programmer named Brendan Eich developed a new scripting language in just 10 days.

-> It was originally called Mocha, but quickly become known as LiveScript and later known as JavaScript.

-> Javascript let to add functionality and behaviours to the website and allows visitors to interact with your website in various creative ways along with HTML and CSS.

-> The recent version of JavaScript is ES12 or ES2021 which is approved by Technical Committee 39(tc39) of EcmaScript.
