Based on the most recent stable release being 2011, I agree. But I found it funny that the article also says "A lot of people think that JScript and JavaScript are different but similar languages. That's not the case. They are just different names for the same language"!

  I was going to leave a comment complimenting you on your awesome HN username, but I try not to go off on too many tangents. However, I notice you have exactly 1337 karma right now. So the combination of hunter2 + 1337 is too irresistible not to mention. :) https://i.imgur.com/PM1T8DM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PM1T8DM.jpg (It's strange that http://bash.org/?244321 http://bash.org/?244321 "only" has ~40k upvotes. I remember upvoting it when I was in high school, and it still seems to be working today, so you'd think a famous bash.org quote would accumulate more than a mildly popular Reddit post worth of upvotes...) Anyway, have a great week!

      Hahaa, I love that one. I remember reading http://bash.org/?5273 http://bash.org/?5273 as a teenager and thinking "What! How could anyone possibly lose a whole computer?" But then I lost a fully-working-responds-to-ping raspberry pi a few years ago too. :) Cheers!

  Even from the day it was made it was never the same language it was however a superset of JavaScript (at the time) having several proprietary extensions to the language.
