I agree. Further, regarding this bit from the "Why?" section of the README:
> Okay, this is kind of a vanity TLD, but we freaking build the web every day... Shouldn't we have a TLD that JS hackers control?
Why are "JS hackers" being targeted specifically? Why not also Ruby, Python, PHP, .NET, and Perl hackers? Why not also HTML and CSS hackers? Why not also designers (.psd perhaps)? Why not dozens of new TLDs so that everyone could have a domain with the file extension of their choosing?
I'll tell you why: because arbitrarily polluting the top-level namespace is something we learn not to do.
- kingkilr 14y agoProbably because .py is paraguay, .pl is poland, .net is ... whatever.
- ilikepi 14y agoSure, but there's no .rb ccTLD, and since 4-, 5-, and 6- letter gTLDs exist, we could certainly have Kickstarter campaigns for .php, .html, .css, .perl, etc. I guess .NET hackers are screwed though.
- opendomain 14y agoActually, Microsoft owns ASP.NET - which is a site about ASP .NET
- EmielMols 14y agoThey're probably less screwed, cause they can register their domain today, provided it's still available.
- soapdog 14y agoOMG!!! Imagine the amount of phishing that can be done with a .html TLD... hey access paypal.com.fantastic.promotion.html this would be horrible...
