The simple solution is to write everything (for the browser) in TypeScript instead and treat JavaScript only as the compilation target noone actually talks about. And compiling to JavaScript might also become a thing of the past with Webassembly. So, I think we shouldn't care about JavaScript as a name.

- jemmyw 1y agoI used https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/ https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/ and didn't find it listed there. It used to belong to Lotus. It seems that MS has not trademarked TypeScript.
- justincormack 1y agoYes you are right, apparently not TypeScript or TS.
- ranguna 1y agoShouldn't someone trademark it quickly before a bad actor does?
- Waterluvian 1y agoJavaScript is a nice compilation target because with a few extra flags, it’s actually very readable.
- leptons 1y agoNot everyone doing things on the web is a pro developer using typescript. There are millions of use cases for plain-old javascript in the browser to get work done, probably many more cases of that than there are pro developers using typescript.
