Assuming there was such a thing as a “dialect of ECMAScript”, neither would 
be Mocha and JavaScript 1.0.  However, this is a purely academical 
discussion now as Mocha, LiveScript, and all JavaScript versions before 1.3 
(Netscape 4.0 [1997], for some people even after that) went the way of the 
dinosaur, and are no longer discussed here on a regular basis.

Also, when you post here, it is never a support request.  This is _not_ a 
support forum, it is a *newsgroup* (where people are discussing subjects).
