Is it impossible to have a major version increment that accomplishes a novel but compatible incremental DOM syntax hierarchy that prompts depreciating the name JavaScript? The body of work available offers various strategies, does it not? Make it Perl and Coccinelle parsable and what do they have?

Yes. At the very least, it’s analogous.

reprehensible behavior from Oracle but what do you expect, I guess? (and comical, them using a node.js screenshot as a specimen, jeez). Maybe it's time to just, move away from the name "JavaScript", as much a pain as that would be...

Does this mean anyone can just claim trademark for random open-source project ? Odd 🤔

All my friends and colleagues try to avoid Oracle and its products. Maybe, this makes them feel better as some kind of legacy?

Using nodejs as evidence is an example of them NOT enforcing the trademark lol

From glancing at a dev project build output, the string `data-oj-binding-provider` in HTML. Or maybe `"ojs/` in JS

I've heard that they fear to loose java as well once they loose javascipt (because java is actually inside there domain and they care about)... but not quite sure that's just what I heard

Oracle is litteraly the final boss

> oracle ... be the hero Oh boy Obligatory "Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison.": www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN...

* 137M JavaScript files on GitHub – only 1K mention JET. * 2.5M JavaScript questions on Stack Overflow – fewer than 50 reference JET. * 55B times JavaScript packages are downloaded from NPM every week – JET-related downloads? Less than 7K. Oh wise Oracle, how does one even prove genericness?!

is this the one time when that might actually matter? lol 🤞

This is the CLI, but I checked and it's also in use as a dev dependency of the init template so legit download count The "real" package has similar stats

By all means, please do not spam their repo or give it any attention of this sorts. That would imply usage/relevance.

#FreeJavaScript I’ll take it! Hello Oracle, I have something that you may want, but it’s gonna to cost ya… That’s right ALL the tea. 🫖 i.makeagif.com/media/7-15-2...

You also have Java as an example where they didn't invent it but they actively work and develop it so it's much more clear they actually own it.

Wasn’t expecting anything different from Oracle - they’ll do everything they can to drag this process out forever.

can @rauchg.blue step in to help in any way? not bad marketing for vercel to help "save javascript"

Yes-ish Sun had a legitimate claim because Netscape shared it with them back in the day - they wanted JavaScript to draft off the popularity of Java. Sun didn't have a major hand in JavaScript but Oracle got the TM when it acquired Sun.
