You're wrong: The first edition of ECMAScript appeared 2 years after the
advent of JavaScript in May, 1995 by Brendan Eich. Then, it is illogical
that JavaScript has become "the first implementation of ECMAScript".

According to the "Brief History", in ECMA-262 3rd (1999):

"ECMA Standard is based on several originating technologies, the most
well known being JavaScript (Netscape) and JScript (Microsoft). The
language was invented by Brendan Eich at Netscape and first appeared in
that company’s Navigator 2.0 browser. It has appeared in all subsequent
browsers from Netscape and in all browsers from Microsoft starting with
Internet Explorer 3.0.
The development of this Standard started in November 1996. The first
edition of this ECMA Standard was adopted by the ECMA General Assembly
of June 1997."
