Can Oracle kill javascript as well, please? Please?
JavaScript's real name is ECMAScript.
https://tc39.es/
ECMA by Ecma?
Ahh, needed Wiki:
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.
Yeah, for a short time there the word ‘java’ was very ‘in’. Marketing hipsters at the time wanted to use it in everything, just like the word ‘AI’ now.
You can bet your bottom dollar Oracle will find a way if it is profitable.
