It does seem that rebranding would just fix the problem. I don’t really understand why the name is worth fighting over.

Didn’t we try that experiment already with ECMAScript? Have you met anyone using it? Me neither.

I can’t wait for the “well actually” comments.

I actually still thought that was the official name, but I never call it that.

But really, what does it matter? Is Oracle suing people over the term JavaScript? Even if so, can’t they just use the correct term and the rest of us can call it JavaScript?

I guess I just really don’t understand why this is a good use of my donations rather than, say, feeding the hungry, and I don’t mean that to disparage any tech related not for profits or issues.

I'm not even sure how to correctly say ECMAScript out loud.
