But everyone already calls it JS. I think the transition would have been so much...

Just rename it to "JS" (jay-ess) and forget about having the letters stand for anything.

Would be nice if Microsoft hadn't taken JScript

Microsoft themselves have even suggested the community could take over the name JScript if they want and offered the trademark to community groups.

Or how about just "J", like "C", and "B" before it.

I'm impartial towards JS, but I've heard others call it JunkScript.

petre · 2025-12-04T11:47:39 1764848859

Like JunoScript or JangoScript? JavaScript is just very outdated ECMAScript.

j16sdiz · 2025-12-05T03:02:33 1764903753

Just like SSL vs TLs

NuclearPM · 2025-12-04T12:46:00 1764852360

How is it outdated?

masfuerte · 2025-12-04T13:19:58 1764854398

I guess the argument is that technically JavaScript is still stuck on version 1 or some other low number. The language that has evolved is ECMAScript.
