JavaScript is a twenty years old trademark that has spread through the whole web and became the most popular programming language name in the open source world. It does not make any sense to change it now. Even if it did make sense, the ECMAScript discussion list is not a place to discuss trademarks and how the language is informally called—people may want to call it WafflePickle, but that is not something you can standardize through the ECMA process. /fm
