>It was heavily inspired by ActionScript 3 which was the basis for the EcmaScript 4 proposal abandoned around 2008 iirc. What's interesting is - surely it's inspired by actionscript (Flash) because it has a flash-compiler-predesscors, MTASC (Motion-Twin Actionscript Compiler), which was slightly faster than native flash! (slightly more optimized code) - you may recognize that name, Motion Twin... this guy was their compiler guy, but this was a Flash games company.. still around today, some of you may have played their multi-platform game, "Dead Cells"
