David WickesI thought I'd explain how to spell JavaScript, and go through some common mistakes developers encounter when writing the word.
Javascript
Nope, you need to capitalize the 's'. It's camel case, like all the worst programming languages.
JavaSCRIPT
Too many capital letters now.
java_script
Go back to writing Python or Ruby or whatever.
JAVASCRIPT
- NO IT'S NOT COBOL
- OR BASIC
- GOTO 10
java-script
Although Brendan Eich wanted to write "Scheme for the browser", he didn't and it isn't. So no kebab case for you.
ECMAScript
Oooooh check you out, smarty pants. Technically this is correct, but in reality it sounds like a skin condition. So no.
TypeScript
Well done, you've got the camel case right. But you've forgotten how to spell "Java" and it looks like you've written any randomly all over your code.
ClojureScript
Not only can't you spell "Java", now you can't spell "Closure" and you're putting the parentheses in the wrong places.
CoffeeScript
Only valid in 418 responses.
ActionScript
How old are you?
NodeJS
NodeJS isn't the name of a language; it's the name of a browser project that got badly out of control.
Java
I mean, given that you're probably writing your JavaScript like it's Java this is at least honest.
JSX
The 'X' stands for "wtf is all this HTML doing in my JavaScript?"
ESNext
You're writing a language from the future. Stop it. What are those ridiculous looking operators doing anyway? You really need them? You really missed waiting for your code to compile so much that now you're compiling your JavaScript into JavaScript using JavaScript?
LiveScript
Brendan? Is that you?
