ECMAScript or ES (commonly referred to as JavaScript) is primarily used for scriptinga language focused on web-pages but also has several embedded forms as stand-alone interpreters or JIT compilers development. Being a monopoly on the front end and having Node on the back end. Use this tag for questions regarding all versions of ES and its dialects / implementations: JavaScript, JScript, etcvanilla JavaScript; optionally tagged with an ECMAScript version., excluding ActionScript If you are using a preprocessor such as TypeScript please tag with that too.
