- ianlevesque 12y agoAgreed. You're not the only one who thinks so: "ECMAScript was always an unwanted trade name that sounds like a skin disease." - Brendan Eich [1] 1. https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2006-October/000133.html https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2006-October/0...
- k__ 12y agoIn Germany, we pronounce it as one word. Ecmascript and not E C M A script. Which makes it as easy to pronounce as JavaScript.
- craigching 12y agoI propose we start a campaign to rename it EScript. I like the sound of that and we preserve the E for ECMA.
- hrjet 12y agoHow about eek-script? That preserves the first two phonetics of ECMA and sounds about right.
