So, we need to rename JavaScript to JavaProgram since it is compiled instead of interpreted these days.

  If we're going to rename JavaScript, I suggest we focus on the Java part of the name :D

  Even better, Python scripts become programs after they are run for the first time.

    That assume it is running in CPython.

  That's just what Kyle Simpson says. In any case it's not a meaningful distinction.

  JavaScript is interpreted and then compiled and optimized. If you're writing TypeScript, that's just converting it into JavaScript. At the end of the day, a JavaScript program is delivered as text to be interpreted at runtime. A .NET C# .exe or .dll is not. Therefore, one is a script, the other is not.
