The father of Node.js shouts to Oracle: please release the JavaScript trademark

RD, the father of Node.js, recently issued a document calling on Oracle to release the "JavaScript" trademark. RD noted that the "JavaScript" trademark has no commercial value to Oracle. Because the company doesn't use the "JavaScript" trademark for any of its products other than Oracle's JavaScript Extension Toolkit, and probably doesn't plan to use it. Oracle is not even involved in the development of any JavaScript engine. Since Oracle's use of the "JavaScript" trademark is "non-use", so-called JavaScript trademark infringement is likely to be unenforceable in court. However, this trademark is a dark cloud hanging over the JavaScript programming language. Law-abiding engineers are careful—even go to great lengths to avoid using it, which has led to the confusing term ECMAScript.

TIOBE September list: Julia is about to enter the Top 20, only 0.05% away

TIOBE points out, "Julia beats Matlab because it's more modern and free to use, and beats Python and R because it's faster. Due to the huge demand in the field of number crunching and modeling, Julia has a lot of potential in the near future. Big chance to make the top 20. It’s worth noting that Rust has also been teetering on the top 20 boundaries recently, but so far has not managed to squeeze in. Time will tell if Julia suffers the same fate.”
