I wonder if we should just rename JavaScript to something else (not ECMAScript, which is an awful name).

Would be difficult to coordinate, but I think if runtimes start incorporating new naming, there could be enough of a consensus to move away from the JavaScript name entirely and it could become a relic of history.

It won't be called anything other than EcmaScript because there are already millions of references to that name.

Such an awful name! From that perspective, a $200k legal battle makes total sense in comparison.
