Based on JavaScript 1.2 as implemented in Netscape Navigator 4.0. [2] Added regular expressions, better string handling, new control statements, try/catch exception handling, tighter definition of errors, formatting for numeric output, and other enhancements Mike Cowlishaw: 4 Abandoned (last draft 30 June 2003) ECMAScript 4 (ES4)
Note that in JavaScript filter and map return a new shallow copy of the preceding array but sort operates in place. To get a similar behavior, toSorted may be used. But in this particular case, sort operates on the new array returned from filter and therefore does not change the original array.
Babel is a free and open-source JavaScript transcompiler that is mainly used to convert ECMAScript 2015+ (ES6+) code into backwards-compatible JavaScript code that can be run by older JavaScript engines. It allows web developers to take advantage of the newest features of the language. [4]
Since ES 2015, transpiling JavaScript has become very common. Transpilation is a source-to-source compilation in which newer versions of JavaScript are used, and a transpiler rewrites the source code so that it is supported by older browsers. Usually, transpilers transpile down to ES3 to maintain compatibility with all versions of browsers.
In July 2005, George Jempty suggested an optional variable assignment be prepended to JSON. [19] [20] The original proposal for JSONP, where the padding is a callback function, appears to have been made by Bob Ippolito in December 2005 [21] and is now used by many Web 2.0 applications such as Dojo Toolkit and Google Web Toolkit.

Static arrays have a size that is fixed when they are created and consequently do not allow elements to be inserted or removed. However, by allocating a new array and copying the contents of the old array to it, it is possible to effectively implement a dynamic version of an array; see dynamic array. If this operation is done infrequently ...
