Talk:JavaScript

Spelling of JavaScript

Mozcerize, can we please avoid using "JavaScript" name? I know that's how it was originally called, but that adds to the Java vs. Javascript confusion, looks funny, and I was already using "Javascript" wherever possible, including a category name ;p --asqueella

Ah, OK, I'm not bothered either way. Feel free to change it. --Mozcerize

Changing a generally established name violates the principle of least surprize. Making it clear in the main article that JavaScript is not Java should be enough. —Fatalis 14:47, 25 Mar 2005 (PST)

Then go through all existing pages and change the capitalization. Using different names in different places is worse, whatever you call it. asqueella

I'll do it. —Fatalis

thanks --asqueella

Wording of article

I'm not a big fan of the rewording of this article: I think it is now harder for non-technical users to understand what JavaScript does. We should compromise somewhere between the under-technical and the over-technical. --Mozcerize 04:01, 29 Mar 2005 (PST)

Including JavaScript is not Java article

We should *not* merge these two articles. See here for reasons why. --Mozcerize 04:01, 29 Mar 2005 (PST)
