The proposed ECMAScript 4 standard contains very different paradigms to the current JavaScript/ECMAScript standard. In my view, it is the equivalent of the changes between C and C++ - it's designed largely to be a revolution rather than a mere evolution of the current ECMAScript/JavaScript standard.
Therefore I would like to propose that ECMAScript 4 (aka JavaScript 2) has a different name to minimise confusion and punctuate the difference between two languages with fundamentally different design decisions and paradigms. Whatsmore, any name would be free of any trademark issues, unlike the name JavaScript, and could become a widely used name for the standard, unlike ECMAScript. Has this previously been discussed or is the current name set in stone? -- L Smith
