What's wrong with everyone else calling it "ECMAScript?"

[aperrien]

While descriptive, I'd think a catchier name might be in order. As a plus, that can be used to draw people away from any Oracle branding.

Just call it Browserscript, and be done with it. Call it what it is.

But it's also Serverscript due to Node.js.

NOT Browserscript then. JS moved beyond the browser almost 3 decades ago (rhino.jar, anyone?) and became mainstream on the server side almost a decade ago.

[worthless-trash]

But it hasn't.. its just a browser running headless on the server.

You’re confused, what you have in mind is Electron. NodeJS et al. use a JS engine, not a browser engine. NodeJS does not have DOM rendering or even parsing for instance.

I'm aware of it is, people are using it wrong. ;)
