Ask HN: How do you think of some Chinese call HTML5 'H5'
Many people in China call HTML5 'H5' and it had cause some heated discussion. Some people (developer) think H5 is non-professional, the other think it just a short name for HTML5.
How do you think of it?
- richerlariviere 11y agoFor some people it would be confusing with the current html tag <h5>. There's no name conflict in the case of JS (javascript). I think this is all about preferences. Human languages, as programming languages, are evolving. I don't see any problem with the case of calling html5 H5.
- coreyp_1 11y agoHonestly, saying "H5" makes it sound like you don't know what you're talking about. It's like calling HTML a programming language.
- Raed667 11y agoI see no problem in that. People call JavaEE, J2EE or JavaME J2ME, all the time (yes even teachers) and get away with it just fine.
