It acquired its current name in 1994, when the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) changed its name to reflect the organization’s global reach and activities. As a consequence, the name is no longer considered an acronym and no longer uses full capitalization.
Can Oracle kill javascript as well, please? Please?
Java is to Javascript what car is to carpet or somesuch

No, I know that – I honestly want them both to die :p
Both have been a blight on software development for decades.
I don’t have a problem with Java, and you can get Oracle free versions of Java.
JavaScript on the other hand is a blight as you say.
You can get blight free versions of JavaScript too, if you use TypeScript.
JavaScript’s real name is ECMAScript.
