I agree. Further, regarding this bit from the "Why?" section of the README:

> Okay, this is kind of a vanity TLD, but we freaking build the web every day... Shouldn't we have a TLD that JS hackers control?

Why are "JS hackers" being targeted specifically? Why not also Ruby, Python, PHP, .NET, and Perl hackers? Why not also HTML and CSS hackers? Why not also designers (.psd perhaps)? Why not dozens of new TLDs so that everyone could have a domain with the file extension of their choosing?

I'll tell you why: because arbitrarily polluting the top-level namespace is something we learn not to do.

Probably because .py is paraguay, .pl is poland, .net is ... whatever.

[ilikepi]

Sure, but there's no .rb ccTLD, and since 4-, 5-, and 6- letter gTLDs exist, we could certainly have Kickstarter campaigns for .php, .html, .css, .perl, etc.

I guess .NET hackers are screwed though.

OMG!!! Imagine the amount of phishing that can be done with a .html TLD... hey access paypal.com.fantastic.promotion.html this would be horrible...

[EmielMols]

They're probably less screwed, cause they can register their domain today, provided it's still available.

Actually, Microsoft owns ASP.NET - which is a site about ASP .NET

javascript is more of the lingua franca of the web

That's why I find it so helpful that I can translate javascript to English using Google translate!
