Wrong comparison. "Harmony" was more or less an umbrella term for any version of ECMAScript released after the non-existent version 4, which I'm sure remains a subject of cryptozoology in some circles.
*I think it's just a matter of time for people to realise that an offset of > `year – 2009` has the potential to be confusing in the long run.* Uhm. I think your manner of recollecting releases is very different to mine... *If mankind still exists in the year 4024, the names will clash* In 4024, there'll only be one programming language, which is JavaScript. Everything else, including C, will be redundant. The HTML specification will have been renamed "Bootstrap", and people who write CSS will face the same opprobrium reserved for people who only write in Assembly. Grunt and Gulp will have finally been merged into Grulpt, and Node will have blossomed into an operating system. The future is bleak and I'll be glad to be dead.
