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.
