javascript was created by netscape for use in the browser,
enabling webpages to be modified without an additional HTTP request.
It has also been in several other places for various uses like:

  • nodejs to run console apps
  • couchdb as a query language
  • extendscript for automating adobe products

javascript has no official implementation. ecmascript is the standard it belongs to, and browsers expose their own engine/implementation.
