| We can also call it ECMAScript. I always try to refer to it as ES instead of JS in professional coding context. |

| Apparently people don't like the name "ECMA" because it's too close to "Eczema" which is a nasty dry/itchy skin problem. And I agree, because I have it too. |

| ▲ | marcosdumay 5 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | It looks too much like "Acme" so it gets confused as a joke about cartoons. It looks too much like "acne", that is a too common skin problem, and it looks too much like "eczema" that is a rarer nasty-looking skin problem. Whoever created that name should get a prize. Anyway, the community not adopting that brand doesn't mean one can't rebrand JS. | | | |

| If there's a name even stupider than JavaScript it's ECMAScript. |

| I would like to be able to pronounce the name in a sensible quick fashion based on how it is written. ;) For "WebScript" that works. Even just "JS" works. For "ECMAScript" not so much. |

| ▲ | zenmac 5 days ago | parent [-] | | ES would be fine. I guess it would conflict with with Spanish domains. But I'm sure we can just continue using .js in the files names... What is the Oracle gonna do? Sue every body who uses .js in the filename? |
