JavaScript is of no use to anyone, everyone has been using JS for a long time - it's simpler, more understandable, more convenient. All activists can call their standards and conferences "JS Conf", "JS Specification" without any problems. What, for example, is wrong with the name "Rust for JS Developers"?
As many people know, there are one-letter names of programming languages, why not a two-letter one? By calling the language JS, we remove the unnecessary association with Java, to which the language had and has no relation + we stop emphasizing the derogatory "Script".
And anyway, who cares what the programming language is called? Is it really the general public?)))
I don't think the community needs to fight and defend the name JavaScript - it's an extremely unfortunate name that is not worth the effort. This energy is worthy of a better use.
