JavaScript
Etymology
'JS' as an abbreviation for 'JavaScript' originates from the combination of 'Java' and 'Script', where 'Java' is a programming language and 'Script' refers to a lightweight programming language.
The term 'JavaScript' was coined in the mid-1990s when Netscape and Sun Microsystems collaborated to create a scripting language for web browsers.
Initially, 'JavaScript' was intended to be a simple scripting language for web browsers, but it has evolved into a versatile language used for both client-side and server-side development.
