Anything that has to become a part of the language has to be specified in ES.

Thanks to the openness of the web standards the Web standards committee has been accepting ideas from popular libraries and frameworks and making it a part of the web.ĮCMAScript (a.k.a ES) is the specification of JavaScript. The JavaScript Community has been very active in developing a number of wrappers and libraries to make the experience better for every developer out there. Despite the wide adoption, the language lacks some of the much needed features that other programming languages possess. Though usage of the language has widened, it was not designed with such wide usage in mind.

Today, the day jobs of a sizeable number of developers on this planet is writing only JavaScript. The same language that was used a couple of years ago for simple DOM manipulations on the browser, is now used to create extremely rich UI experiences for almost any device, and also to build lightweight web server apps. If you are a Web developer, probably the silliest question someone can ask you today would be “Do you know JavaScript?” JavaScript is an integral part of web development, although the usage of the JavaScript language has changed over the years.
