Ah well, I was too fast.  No, it is not correct at all.  In fact, most 
people talking about JavaScript are not even aware that it is neither the 
name of only one programming language nor that the programming languages in 
question are implementations of ECMAScript.  And certainly ECMAScript and 
JavaScript are not the same, as this so-called “paraphrased” statement 
suggests.
