Btw, The language is called ECMAScript

Literally nobody, outside of formal documents and perhaps pedants, uses that catastrophe of a name.

If you are gonna change the name to anything, change it to js. But also, don’t change the name of the language, especially not to ECMAScript.

It is already called ECMAScript; they do not need to change it. It is also called JavaScript. (I don't know if there is trademark issues with ECMA too though)

However, the name "JavaScript" (and "ECMAScript") is in use enough anyways (like is described in the article), so Oracle shouldn't properly restrict others to use it in this way.

no it's not, that's a bureaucratic hoop-jump

Does everyone else pronounce that as "eczema script", too?

No, everyone I know literally pronounces it as ecma script.

I mean, I don't think of it as a rebuke of JavaScript. I've just found it to be the most natural pronunciation for that sequence of letters. I really can't read it any other way.

I'd like to believe that most people have switched over to TS but I wouldn't count on it until I've seen the numbers, which I am currently too lazy to look up.

"We're now firmly in the TypeScript era. 67% of respondents stated they write more TypeScript than JavaScript code – while the single largest group consisted of people who only write TypeScript."

Nice to hear, thanks.
