The last time this was brought up, "WebScript" was mentioned as a possible alternative name. (Like WebAssembly, WebSockets, WebRTC, etc.)

I really like "WebScript" but people will shorten it to "ws", which will make me think of the NPM WebSocket package [0] every time I see it!

WebScript sounds pretty good TBH


WebScript seems like it would really work. Especially if it was introduced at the same time as a major update to the ECMAscript spec


As much as I like the idea, it should really be backwards compatible with the JS acronym so that projects like "node.js" or "react.js" make sense.


Great idea. Much better than "ECMAScript"


My personal favourite is "JayScript".



DoobieScript

I recommend this one


WebScript is fine by me!
