If you could rename JavaScript to be more self descriptive...

What would you call it?

AnyScript... Cuz it's lack of rigidity kinda allows you to make pretty much anything.

[Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen]

• Paradigm-agnostic application language
• Developer-forgiving interpreted language
• With great power comes great responsibility

LiveScript, the first official name before it was renamed to Javascript.

[Marek Pepke]

The name was appropriated by something different. Currently it is a separate language, which compiles to JavaScript livescript.net

[Sergey Telpuk]

TypeScript

[Avalander]

I actually like a lot its original working title Mocha, I wish they had kept it. Even though it's not particularly descriptive, at least it's honest about not having anything to do with Java.

WebScript. Or maybe better DynaScript? (dynamic but also sometimes as dangerous as dynamite ;)

WTFScript... "why it is doing this"

[Stephen Chiang]

Black Magic!
