It won't be called anything other than EcmaScript because there are already millions of references to that name.
Such an awful name! From that perspective, a $200k legal battle makes total sense in comparison.

I wonder if we should just rename JavaScript to something else (not ECMAScript, which is an awful name).
Would be difficult to coordinate, but I think if runtimes start incorporating new naming, there could be enough of a consensus to move away from the JavaScript name entirely and it could become a relic of history.

Actually i prefer the dont', easy to comprehend and spell.
Genuinely interested, if the ' represents skipped letters, how does this read to you?
As an aside, if you have the sentence "This is Lewis' reply to the parent comment" the ' at the end of Lewis is used to avoid Lewis's with the extra s at the end.
It was like that with Jazzmasters and Big Muffs. And even Les Pauls in the 60s and 80s. They were just cheap and widely available used and out of fashion, but then someone started using it again and the prices just exploded.

Have you ever met a guitarist[0], or a golfer? I play guitar, and as a teenager I spent _years_ playing a cheap encore guitar plugged into a no-name 15w amp imaginable with a zoom 505 [1]. I practiced for hours upon and hours and sounded awful. Now as an adult, I get to spend some money on the hobby and sound like what I thought I sounded like aged 15!

It also reminds me of how a lot of the most coveted guitars, pedals, amps weren't selected by the guitarists who made iconic because they had some sort of secret sauce in them, but literally because they were the cheapest/most convenient thing available at the time.
Also, I love the sound of a good crunchy 15w practise amp. I think one day those old zoom pedals and the Line 6 bean will be highly coveted!

How the hell do you replicate your sounds between performances, recordings, etc.
This must be the musical equivalent of people sending eachother zip files with source code instead of using git, lol.
EDIT: don't get me wrong, not dissing the approach! It looks glorious and I wish I could play with one once..!
I like to take photos and sometimes write things down! In a sense you're assembling a sound sculpture. But once you've found a great sound and lost it, sometimes you end up finding something very similar but not quite 100%! You see this a lot with live performances from any electronic musician to be honest.
Still, most of the time you find something incredible and it's gone as quickly as it appeared!

Is that such a bad thing? It’s supposed to be a hobby, if geeking out on gear relaxes you you shouldn’t have to feel bad for not being productive with it.
Many of my hobbies (mechanical keyboards, flashlights, guitar pedals) have been addictive and going as incredibly deep as I have has made me appreciate each item to a new degree.
I know many musicians who love using Teenage Engineerings products for making music, performing live etc.
However, I do think there is a case to be made for falling into the trap of being more interested in the gear than the thing you're meant to do with the gear.
At the very least, Teenage Engineering hardware is generally very well designed, high quality and built to last. At least this product has some creative spirit behind it. I'm in love with the merge of Medieval and Modern Electronic here!
For an example of excessive consumerism, look no further than the Eurorack[1] space. They don't call it Eurocrack for nothing!

Naive question here: would not it be possible, and immensely cheaper, to achieve the same effect by having a horizontal screen that projects light at an angle over a vertical frame? Kind of like the good old slide projectors? With powerful LEDs like we have today and the right geometry it kind of sounds achievable to me.
Are you describing the pepper's ghost effect?
