JavaScript

Born to make a navigator dynamic (developed by Brendan Eich in 1995 as LiveScript, to add to Netscape Navigator), I came to Europe for uniformity (it is standardised by the European organisation ECMA, and officially known as ECMAscript) and flourished when reversed (in the browser wars, it was reverse-engineered by Microsoft and offered as JScript, which greatly increased support). What am I?

I look forward to your putting alternative cases.
