But everyone already calls it JS. I think the transition would have been so much easier if the official name started with "J".

Just rename it to "JS" (jay-ess) and forget about having the letters stand for anything.

Like JunoScript or JangoScript? JavaScript is just very outdated ECMAScript.

I guess the argument is that technically JavaScript is still stuck on version 1 or some other low number. The language that has evolved is ECMAScript.

I'm impartial towards JS, but I've heard others call it JunkScript.

Microsoft themselves have even suggested the community could take over the name JScript if they want and offered the trademark to community groups.

Or how about just "J", like "C", and "B" before it.
