@deno_land Oddly, JavaScript was first developed by Netscape, using more or less a subset of Java's syntax, which itself was based on C syntax (most of Sun Microsystem's software was written in C, so copying parts of its syntax for Java made a lot of sense - it made life easier for programmers using both). Netscape failed and there were a series of business deals, acquisitions, etc., which is why Oracle has any claim to a JavaScript trademark at all.

@deno_land After that let’s cancel Oracle.

@deno_land "could finally drop the cumbersome “ECMAScript” moniker and be known simply as the “JavaScript Specification.”"

Omg of course oracle turns out to be the villain, again

@deno_land Long Term Support = 6 months

@deno_land
And Deno Deploy?

Console logging

`Deno ${Deno.version.deno} (${navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase()})`

still writes just

"Deno (deno/1.46.3)"

@deno_land "Deno v2.1 is the first LTS release of Deno. The v2.1 branch will receive important bug fixes and performance improvements for the next six months."

Long-term.

@deno_land yaaaaaaaaas!

@deno_land I didn't think the logo changed again for the second time.

@deno_land I guess there are no plans to fix importing from source, and broken local development, with the new JSR/deno.json package stuff prior to Deno 2.0? seems a glaring oversight to me

I don't understand why Deno didn't just go full adoption of package.json and copy Node, it's objectively superior.

@deno_land Dear all, It's time to free yourself from Oracle.

@deno_land Signed! Thanks to @indutny for sharing :)

@deno_land am I the only one that doesn’t see any issue with this?

From the page:

> Unlike typical trademark holders who protect their trademarks by extracting licensing fees or enforcing usage restrictions, Oracle has allowed the JavaScript name to be used by anyone.

Doesn’t that mean you should just ignore the trademark? Imagine the confusion that would arise if a random third party created "Javascript Conf".

@deno_land@fosstodon.org Web MIDI support when?
