Short answer, no.

Mocha, LiveScript, JavaScript, or ECMAscript. If it wants respect it needs to settle on a name.

Maybe PuffyScript or PDiddyScript.

It is hard to work with and quirky.

But it is supported across a wide range of browsers, and it does have a published standard. So it is usefull.

But if it wants respect, it needs to pick one name and stay with it

JavaScript is like Windows, the only reason anyone writes for it is because almost everyone has it.

Unfortunately it is a very nice language. I usually enjoy writing in it. The only downside is *why* I do it ;)

jezuch,,

Do you mean Java or javascript?

They are two extremely different things.

Oh, I sure do know the difference. Java is my primary development language, and while I work in a web hosting company I get to develop quite a bit in JavaScript too. And I like both languages even if JavaScript is an implementation mess ;)
