The worst would be a .js TLD; everyone looking for web frameworks like `angular.js` would end up on a website (that probably is not affiliated with that tool) instead of a search result page. Would make it incredibly easy to trick people into installing malicious dependencies.

Thankfully, a .js TLD is out of the question since you cannot create a 2-letter gTLD [0]. But who knows, maybe some private equity firm will try and bribe a nation to change names so they can get a new country code.

That doesn’t seem to be that much a problem with the .net TLD and various .net products. (asp.net, quartz.net, yamldotnet, docker.dotnet, ssh.net, handlebars.net, etc. - from a quick search of these, asp.net is the only one where the asp.net website actually belongs to the product in question.)

What about an .htm or .html TLD?
