Javascript, one of the most popular scripting languages we use.
Javascript unlike other languages doesn’t require any installation of some compiler or anything like that, it is just implemented by our regular web browsers.
Javascript also has some set of rules that every browser needs to follow. It is decided by ECMA.
ECMA releases something called as ECMAScript which is a document consisting of the updates that browsers need to implement.
Since 2015, these updates have become more regular, they release updates like ES2015, ES2016, ES2018 etc.
Whenever updates (new release) are released it is not you who needs to update the Javascript of the browser, it is the browser that needs to implement that given release by ECMA.
That is the reason, web developers are pissed off of the Internet Explorer because, it is not keeping up with the new releases of JavaScript.
