AS Program's: About-me

Wednesday 21 March 2018

JavaScript was initially created to “make webpages alive”. The programs in this language are called scripts. They can be written right in the HTML and execute automatically as the page loads. Scripts are provided and executed as a plain text. They don’t need a special preparation or a compilation to run. In this aspect, JavaScript is very different from another language called Java. When JavaScript was created, it initially had another name: “Live Script”. But Java language was very popular at that time, so it was decided that positioning a new language as a “younger brother” of Java would help.But as it evolved, JavaScript became a fully independent language, with its own specification called ECMAScript, and now it has no relation to Java at all.
