It’s pronounced gay-ess. Just like GIF.

Sorry, this seriously is an honest question: Is there a typo in your post? Otherwise I must come to the conclusion that you suggest pronouncing JS as 'jiss'.

Can't we all get along? "jizz" and "gay-ass" are both perfectly good.

JS would be hard to trademark now because there’s so many other services using JS as part of their trademark. There’s also already quite a few companies who’ve already registered JS as a trademark.

You also couldn’t call it Jscript because Microsoft owns the trademark there.

EMCAScript is the most practical from a legal standpoint, but that name sucks badly.

Yeah, but that's what is needed.

An un-trademark-eable term.

What you need is the opposite: a trademarked name but one where a community-managed nonprofit foundation owns.

That’s how other languages (eg Perl and Python) manage their assets. And the ecosystem is better for it.

AHAHAHAHAHH

I take it form your reply that you either misunderstood my comment or you think the constant threat of litigation from Oracle is a good thing.

Either way, you come off as incredibly naïve.
