!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] (or [ECMAScript]) is a high-level, dynamic, untyped, and interpreted programming language.

[{$pagename}] is a scripting language developed by Brendan Eich of [Netscape] and was called Mocha in [1995|Year 1995]

[{$pagename}] has been standardized in the [ECMAScript] language specification.

[{$pagename}], alongside [HTML] and [CSS], is one of the three core technologies of [World Wide Web] content production; the majority of websites employ it, and all modern Web [browsers] support it without the need for plug-ins.


[{$pagename}] is prototype-based with first-class functions, making it a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

[{$pagename}] has an [API] for working with text, arrays, dates and regular expressions, but does not include any I/O, such as networking, storage, or graphics facilities, relying for these upon the [host environment|Operating System] in which it is embedded.
