Btw, The language is called ECMAScript

• echelon 1y ago
  Does everyone else pronounce that as "eczema script", too?
  • wiseowise 1y ago
    "EnemaScript"
    • echelon 1y ago
      I mean, I don't think of it as a rebuke of JavaScript. I've just found it to be the most natural pronunciation for that sequence of letters. I really can't read it any other way.

    No, everyone I know literally pronounces it as ecma script.
• ajkjk 1y ago
  no it's not, that's a bureaucratic hoop-jump
• mmastrac 1y ago
  Literally nobody, outside of formal documents and perhaps pedants, uses that catastrophe of a name.

  If you are gonna change the name to anything, change it to js. But also, don’t change the name of the language, especially not to ECMAScript.

    It is already called ECMAScript; they do not need to change it. It is also called JavaScript. (I don't know if there is trademark issues with ECMA too though) However, the name "JavaScript" (and "ECMAScript") is in use enough anyways (like is described in the article), so Oracle shouldn't properly restrict others to use it in this way.
