Is ECMAScript better then javascript for making games?

Question

I've recently started making games with JS for fun and was wondering if ECMAScript would be better then javascript for this. BTW: I have NOT learned ECMAScript.

Answer 1

ecmascript is javascript.

It's the same language.

Answer 2

Everybody says something else, but in the everyday uses of the words javascript and ecmascript are the same.

Basically javascript was implemented by Brendan Eich for the Netscape browser in like, a week. He pretty much winged it.
Eventually other browser vendors implemented Javascript aswell and the need for standardization arose. ECMA took it upon themselves to standardize javascript and the ECMAScript standard was born.

Now what even is javascript? I'm not totally sure myself and it is mostly pedantery, but I THINK javascript is a family of languages that conform to the ECMAScript standard (so we have multiple javascripts). This gives browser vendors the opportunity to add all the fancy new features that aren't in the standard yet and they can still call it JavaScript.

Another notable ECMAscript dialect is the (obsolete) JScript by Microsoft.

Or something. I'm not sure it really matters. I use the terms interchangeably but I might be wrong too. I am not sure the SoloLearn lesson got it right either.
