ES vs JS

1. JavaScript is one of the most popular implementations of ECMAScript.
2. The core features of JavaScript are based on the ECMAScript standard, but JavaScript also has other features that are not in the ECMAScript standard.

What is ES6?

ECMAScript 6, officially known as ECMAScript 2015 (ES2015), was the largest update to JavaScript ever.
The official name included the year of its release because of the decision to roll out subsequent updates every year, after ES2015.

The previous version of ES6 i.e. ES5 got released way back in 2009.

ES7 or ES2016, the subsequent update to ES6, got released it 2016.

That concludes the Introduction to ES6.
