Can we all agree to call it js instead of javascript?
The name "javascript" has bugged me since 1995. Now that it has been well established as a real language (and not some flaky browser toy that was hoped would go away) it deserves a name with less pathetic baggage[1]. Can we all agree to call it "js" instead of "javascript"? js is a pretty nice name.

- mgkimsal 16y agoEven at http://jsmag.com http://jsmag.com I still use the word 'JavaScript' regularly, but do think JS works better. I've similarly been bugged by the naming since the early days, and the continual confusion with Java even these days still irks me.
