The Web Shading Language is going to have to pick a new acronym; I did a double take when I saw that Windows Subsystem for Linux was coming to Safari

  It really should be WebSL like everything else in its space (WebGL, WebAssembly, etc.)

    It's a bit weird that they talk bout WebGPU and WebGL and then name it WSL instead of WebSL.

    It's probably following after GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language), which is admittedly an even worse name.

  Web Scraping Language here. It's just a nice sounding acronym.

  When two bad names collide in funny ways, creating a "No, this cannot possibly be true" moment.

  That’s reasonable feedback.

    WebSL is definitely a lot more clear!
