Software is frankly worse. Take javascript. What does that even mean? ECMAScript, CommonJS, something else? Almost nobody clarifies what they mean precisely when they use an ambiguous, overload term like "javascript".

Does the "es" in ESLint mean it only works for ECMAScript? Or does the "ES" mean something entirely different? The homepage doesn't say. Are eslint, ESLint, and Eslint the same thing? Capitalization usually matters in software after all, but nobody is consistent here, not even eslint.org. Why do are ES6 and ES2015 used interchangeably? That's unnecessarily confusing.

All of this is far more confusing than "i" vs "j" for sqrt(-1).
