Oh it very much matters. Folks are questioning the legitimacy of this endeavour. It’d be total hypocracy for them to be freeing JavaScript from Oracle and stating trademarks are bad and then to be maintaining similar themselves.


You aren’t addressing the argument, which is that the word Deno is not similar to the word JavaScript.

Also Deno is not claiming that trademarks are bad, they’re claiming that JavaScript is a commonly used term.


I don't agree. I don't think of Oracle at all when I think of JavaScript. And I also don't care whether they own the trademark.

There's no hypocrisy.


They mapped out the argument they were making quite clearly. Then you accused them of making a different argument.
