Just rename it to "JS" (jay-ess) and forget about having the letters stand for anything.

Would be nice if Microsoft hadn't taken JScript

Microsoft themselves have even suggested the community could take over the name JScript if they want and offered the trademark to community groups.

Or how about just "J", like "C", and "B" before it.

Java no barter

I'm impartial towards JS, but I've heard others call it JunkScript.

Just like SSL vs TLs

How is it outdated?

I guess the argument is that technically JavaScript is still stuck on version 1 or some other low number. The language that has evolved is ECMAScript.
