That's not true, Javascript is what is implemented in various browsers under the standards those developers choose to implement. If ECMAScript was the same thing, then why would Mozilla bother licensing Javascript from Oracle?
Considering all these tools are just development platforms for THE WEB? Shouldn't you be learning how the Web works so you know what you're actually building? No mention anywhere here of ports, REST, SOAP, caching (like I dunno, nginx which is now on what? like 75% of internet facing web hosts?)
These so called technologies are shit, as proven in various papers on the subject. All you'll be doing is laying the groundwork for your enterprise to get hacked and taken over by large corporations using older, more secure and proven technologies.

Trademarks are basically labels; what Mozilla licensed from Oracle (actually, as I recall the history, what Netscape licensed from Sun and transferred to Mozilla) is the right to use the trademark "JavaScript". It has nothing to do with the actual language, just the label.
- AsymetricCom 13y agoThat's just more fuel for my argument. The fact is that the trademark is where the value is, there is no value in the Javascript language. Every other day there's another Javascript vulnerability because that is how it was designed. http://thehackernews.com/2013/09/internet-explorer-zero-day-exploit-used.html http://thehackernews.com/2013/09/internet-explorer-zero-day-...
