Alternatively, if we were to give a new name to what we now call JavaScript, what could it be? (ECMAScript never caught on in a popular sense, to cut that one off at the pass.) twitter.com/getify/status/…

@JavaScriptDaily WebScript

@JavaScriptDaily YellowScript

@JavaScriptDaily SelfScript? ScriptTalk? ProtoScript?

@JavaScriptDaily I do think ”js” should be preserved. It’s stronger than all of us... Some ideas: jsonlang, jase, Jason, jslang, jay-script or J-script

@JavaScriptDaily Any reason why all suggestions XxxxScript? Let’s try to think outside the box here...

@JavaScriptDaily The Language Formerly Known as JavaScript

@JavaScriptDaily JustScripts

@JavaScriptDaily EichScript

@JavaScriptDaily WebScript?

@JavaScriptDaily DontBlockTheEventLoopScript

@JavaScriptDaily lmaoscript

@JavaScriptDaily I think it already has a new name. I regularly search for it by the term “ES6”

@JavaScriptDaily Recursive acronym: jnj not java

@JavaScriptDaily Could be WebScript, JustScript, or AwesomeScript!

@JavaScriptDaily JelloScript - the .js suffix would stay the same :P and JS would finally get a mascot, it so needs.

@JavaScriptDaily NodeScript

@JavaScriptDaily My Ideas: UberScript, SuperScript, FuncEscript, FunScript, FuncScript, AllYourScriptAreBelongToUs, EScript, Nucleus (because of Electron...), CommonScript, BaseScript, TheScript, Denominator.

@JavaScriptDaily Almost any name would be better than JavaScript due the confusion that name has caused for two decades. The name strongly implies a technical connection to Java where none exists. ECMAScript is a dreadful name and will never roll off the tongue. Changing is super difficult.

@JavaScriptDaily Jslang

@JavaScriptDaily Garbage... as in ”i just wrote 500 lines of garbage to refresh my dashboard”

@JavaScriptDaily BetterThenJavaScript I guess?!!

@JavaScriptDaily PotatoScript. Don't ask why.

@JavaScriptDaily I believe that people who already work with ecmascript already know about its meaning.

@JavaScriptDaily Could go back to Mocha or MochaScript. It would be a nightmare making the switch though. JavaScript is too ubiquitous

@JavaScriptDaily Something without "script" in the name. It should also not imply browser or node environments.

@JavaScriptDaily LiveScript, the original name

@JavaScriptDaily How about IckyScript?

@JavaScriptDaily UniversalScript

@JavaScriptDaily WebScript or maybe just JS.

@JavaScriptDaily How about ViewScript ?

@JavaScriptDaily Just call it Script.

@JavaScriptDaily "The script formerly known as java" really caught my eye thanks to reddit.

@JavaScriptDaily YoloScript

@JavaScriptDaily just "JS". You won't event have to change your logo
