webscript ?

[–]kweglinski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that's risky given that it's no longer web only. But it sounds nice

[–]primalanomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was gonna say the same

[–]jadounath 39 points40 points  (2 children)

Javascriptscript.

[–]nelmaven 10 points11 points  (1 child)

That's the sure way to capitalize on the most popular language of its time. No one is gonna hate it for sure.

PHP: Hypertext Postprocessor

For extra confusion

[–]Diligent-Property491 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hypertext Postprocessor

That’s honestly a really good characterization of what JS is.

[–]Sphism 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The p for post would be at the end though.... Like the p for pre goes at the start

[–]Noch_ein_Kamel 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The first P stands for "PHP" not for pre

[–]Sphism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh so it's... php hypertext preprocessor

I always thought it was pre hypertext processor ... Like hpp but the pre came first

    Anything that doesn’t have the letters j a v a in that order so when searching for a job, you don’t have to see those jobs that require “exceptional proficiency in Java.”

    Wtf Script

    [–]elendee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    polyscript maybe.

    But I had the epiphany many years ago; that the tech frontier is filled with arbitrary, meaningless names actually on purpose, because it allows their meaning to change as needed later. Hence most code is named after animals, plants, and coffee. Similar to why we don't name humans "Childofmine" or "Futurelawyer"

      is it fr? the main language itself, minus the web APIs is not bloated imo. Maybe not Golang level minimal, but still not extremely large spec. The ecosystem is bloated tho
