If Oracle win we rename the language JS. JS stands for nothing.





We can just start calling it by its full Christian name, Eczemascript

How about OS, where the "S" now stands for "sucks", and the meaning of the "O" is left as an exercise for the reader.

This will cause confusion with OS for "Open Source".

Also "Operating System". This is a feature, not a bug.

No, we rename Javascript to Typelessscript.

.Net compiles to it's IL and who writes raw JavaScript these days anyway, so just call it JSIL.

Typescript--

I guees we can use a name from island near Java. BaliScript, MaduraScript, KarimunScript and so on.

Or JoeScript, substituting one slang term for “coffee” for another.

TypeScript is now called DecafScript.


DFCOCScript. "Dee-ef-coc-script" Damn fine cup of coffee Script

Rolls off the tongue


How about douche-named-Larry-script. Take a page out of Apple’s playbook when they used the code name Butthead Astronomer.
