I can't be the only one who believes the name JavaScript should die in Peace. It was and still is the worst naming of any popular programming language in existence.
Honestly think Go is worse. So hard to google anything about it.

The simple solution is to write everything (for the browser) in TypeScript instead and treat JavaScript only as the compilation target noone actually talks about. And compiling to JavaScript might also become a thing of the past with Webassembly. So, I think we shouldn't care about JavaScript as a name.
no thanks, ecmascript already is a fine name why don't we just start using it more since thats what it is why deno so hung up on this? why not focus getting people to use deno instead?
"ecma" doesn't feel right coming out of my mouth or in my ears. Perhaps because it's sound isn't common in the English language? I'm actually struggling to find any other words right now that sounds similar to ecma. But to answer your question, here we all are talking about Deno. Can't say if that was their plan all along or not, but it's working.
Er... or spend the let me check 6 months loaded cost of one of your devs and do it yourself.
Looks to me as if deno wants the public goodwill, but isn't willing to put their money where their mouth is. The term "brand awareness campaign" comes to mind.

I am fairly sure Microsoft owns the typescript trademark.
It seems that MS has not trademarked TypeScript.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I know what you mean, sounds like AcneScript.

I do find that request outrageous, the true objective hidden, and I still don't grasp what the fuss is about anyway; in what way does it matter does Oracle own the name? Before being superseded by Python, wasn't JavaScript the world's most used language? Don't get me wrong, I'm no Oracle fan-boy, but why? And doesn't Oracle own Java as well? Sure, very different languages, but hard to say the same for the trademarked names, and Java is older. How about taking energy to do something else, something positive. 'JS' as somone said earlier, is pretty cool.
One more reason to move away from it and finally get some sanity back in webdev.
