About ES(ECMAScript)

This article introduced ECMAScript (ES).

I’ve heard of ES in my development, but ECMAScript is a bit of a new concept, so I decided to look into it.

What is the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA)?

ES is short for ECMAScript. It’s an international standardization organization for information and communication systems. In simple terms, it’s a scripting language specification. ECMA standards include not only JS, but also file systems, Ascii code, C languages, JSON, and much more.

Most browsers currently support ES5. Many even support ES6, the 2015 version. Familiar syntax in ES6 includes arrow functions and the use of let and const variables. JS is a scripting language that conforms to the standard specification of ECMAScript.
