(I apologize for hitting Send on my phone with an errant finger resulting in an empty post). "Script" is not neutral but neither is "Program" plus it's just wrong. The language needs a name for both the unit of compilation and the assembly of those units. The latter is a program right? So the former needs a different name. "CompilationUnit" is a bit long but more correct. jjb _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
