I don't know if you meant JavaScript or not, but JScript is an actual thing that is (somewhat) separate from JavaScript, commonly abbreviated as JS.

- gpm 8y ago> A lot of people think that JScript and JavaScript are different but similar languages. That's not the case. They are just different names for the same language, and the reason the names are different was to get around trademark issues.

- ddoolin 8y agoYes, and the following paragraph goes on to note differences and even calls his statement "not completely true". At one point it may have been more true than it is now.
- tempguy9999 8y agoI genuinely did not know that! I've always presumed JS = JScript = JavasSript = ECMAscript. Hmm. In this case I meant the native scripting in palemoon (which is an FX fork I believe).
