Javascript is the most popular programming language. JavaScript was invented by Brendan Eich in 1995, and became an ECMA standard in 1997. The language was initially called LiveScript and was later renamed JavaScript. When javascript was created it had another name called “Livescript”. At that time java was very popular so it was decided that positioning a new language “young brother” of java. But after some time javascript became so popular with its own specification called ECMAScript and now it has no relation with java.
