Fix: Javascript's earlier names
Initially, Javscript was called "Mocha", then changed to "LiveScript" before finally being named JavaScript.
I don’t think this addition is useful for the header purpose. The focus is “why JavaScript” and explained mentioning LiveScript as a previous name. Mocha may be also confused with the framework explained later in the tutorial.
According to chatgpt, Mocha was an internal codename and never released under that name.
Yes you said it right because the focus is on "why JavaScript".
Actually I read about this on Wikipedia when I was going through an article about Brenda Rich, the creator of JavaScript. I read this in career section. Here's the link - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich
By the way, javascript.info is the best resource I have ever found. Great work.
