Can’t you just call it ECMAScript

We're at about the right point in the timeline to start calling it YavaScript which both solves the trademark problem and keeps us on the path laid out in prophesy.

Giggled, imagining all those muscle memory typos. It took me a while to start typing "myself" properly instead of "mysql", thanks to Postgres.

YavaScript for the language, Yira for issue tracking. YetBrains for IDEs.

How about JECMAScript?

You still get to abbreviate it like JS, use the filename extension ".js", etc.
