What happened to the year-based naming convention? I thought we switched to ES2015 and ES2016?

I still don't understand why it's been renamed to ES2015. Reminds me of the Windows98 days. Gives software an air of "out-of-date"-ness for no reason. Just give it a version number and be done. Javascript versions don't need branding.

IMO it's all a mess. Currently we have "ECMAScript® 2015", which is "ECMA-262 6th Edition".

Not to beat a dead horse, but I find it hilarious that this is a proposal. Someone on TC39 has a sense of humor.

Edit: Apparently this was proposed long before left-pad broke the internet.

Not to be a wet blanket, but this proposal predates padLeftGate by a lot:
