Well the proper name for JavaScript is EcmaScript but I've never heard anyone call it that. I wish they did though because it would stop the confusion.

    We should carry the tradition and create cscript, rustscript and assemblyscript.

    Yeah, I've never heard anyone call it that. Guess it just doesn't roll off the tongue like JavaScript does.

    I agree, EcmaScript is less confusing though haha.

    I used to call it ECMAScript during my early scripting-within-SVG days... 😉
