JavaScript was created in 1995 by Brendan Eich at Netscape. It was designed to make websites more interactive. 🌐 Initially, it was a simple language for things like form validation and small animations on web pages. 🎨

Over time, JavaScript grew rapidly, becoming more powerful and widely used. 🚀

Key Milestones: 📅

1. 1995: JavaScript was first called "Mocha," then "LiveScript," and finally renamed to JavaScript. 💡

2. 1997: It became standardized as ECMAScript, ensuring all browsers could run JavaScript the same way. 🧑‍💻

3. 2009 (Node.js): This allowed JavaScript to be used on servers, making it possible to run both front-end and back-end with one language. 🔄

Why It’s the Language of the Web: 🌍

• Works Everywhere: JavaScript runs in every web browser, so it’s used on almost all websites. 🖥️

• Front and Back-End: With tools like Node.js, JavaScript can be used on both the client side (in the browser) and the server side. 🔧

• Evolving Ecosystem**: Popular frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue.js help developers build modern, dynamic web applications. 💡📱

JavaScript’s flexibility, constant improvements, and wide support have made it the go-to language for web development. 🚀👨‍💻
