So much this! About 20 years ago, when I only started dealing with JS, I couldn’t grasp that pathetic name. Why even have Java in there?

Personally, I so much hate these so much weird nerdy stupid names. Gimp, anyone? These recursive acronyms like GNU, does somebody actually think that’s funny?

Count me in, I like web script.
