- saagarjha 7y agoIt's a tradition, apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yet_another https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yet_another

- MaxBarraclough 7y agoI have a different objection: the 'J' prefix is standard for projects in Java, not JavaScript. 'JSLua' would have been better. Turns out there's already a Lua-in-Java project that goes by LuaJ: https://github.com/luaj/luaj https://github.com/luaj/luaj
