Thats a very rough comparison, for instance the differences of my and var and their scoping mechanisms can lead to ugly problems.

E.g. JS knows only function scope and not block scope AND unlike my does var also influence preceding variables (so called "hoisting")

Further more linking to MDN instead of W3Schools for further informations is generally a better idea.

For instance see Mozillas approach to come closer to my by introducing "let"¹!

For those who can read German here an old talk of mine from GPW2011 investigating the differences.

¹) but unfortunately still hoisting =(
