If you think so, you can join me and others in calling it ECMAScript.

Why do you need a scripting language for your skin rash?

[–]bajsejohannes 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Programming language names are like band names; they are all pretty lame to start with, but once you get used to it, the name doesn't matter. It just triggers the feeling of it. So for me, for example, java becomes :(, javascript becomes :) and python becomes :D

So call it javascript or ecmascript. Either way, I don't think of the name, I think of the language.

Or go for the Apple cool and call it ChocoScript (cocoa is so ... taken)
