Downvotes? What on earth for? Oh man you front-end guys really don't get it. If you disagree with my sentiments, that's fine. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, you're not a real programmer.



Check your facts.

The standards body for JavaScript is Ecma International -- hence JavaScript being officially known and standardized as "ECMAScript".

Additionally, JavaScript began at Netscape in 1995 two years before it was a published standard.

See Wikipedia:

The W3C had nothing to do with the design of JavaScript or even DOM 0.


No actually the down-votes are because you don't know what you're talking about --and are arrogant about it on top.
