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.

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

How is it outdated?
