Javascript

JavaScript was created in Netscape and incorporated into Netscape browser in 1995.  It was initially called Mocha and Livescript. Later on a marketing deal was made between Netscape and Sun whom own Java, it was named to Javascript.  To justified for the name, all Java keywords are reserved words in Javascript.  Javascript's standard library also uses the naming convention as Java.  It'd Msth and Date functions also based on the standard class of Java 1.0 objects.  ECMA standardised Javascript and it is called ECMAscript.  So Javascript is like a dialect of ECMAscript.  Likewise Microsoft's JScript is also a dialect of ECMAscript but there are some incompatibilities.
