#javascript™
My TIL of the day is that JavaScript™ is a trademark of Oracle Corporation. As a trademark owner, Oracle can technically send C&D letters to those who use the term in ways they seem inappropriate.

Just read and signed @deno.land's petition to the US patent office to cancel Oracle's JavaScript™ trademark. Seems like a pretty cut and dry case to me. Stand with the JS community by signing the open letter at javascript.tm.

I don’t think I agree, in that a pre-hooks function component actually *was* a pure function of its arguments, and (modulo hand-waves about ways you could hoist yourself on your own petard even in a function component render Because JavaScript™) that was something you could actually rely on.

- single customizable #namespace for "framework" stuff

- searching for `$.` will return all places where it's used

- framework code goes "around" your code and not "inside it"

- all the #jsx is isolated inside single-function-export .jsx files

- vanilla #CSS files

- the rest is just javascript™

Quick one-liner for better Oracle® JavaScript™ message logging;

;console.assert(isIt?.truthy, new Error('uh-oh'));

function example(input) {
console.assert(input == 'expected', new Error('uh-oh'));
/* ... */
}

One day I may tell of writing Oracle® JavaScript™ REPL for PDFs;

```javascript
var input, out;
do {
input = app.response({ cQuestion: out ? out : 'Input:' });
try { out = eval(input); }
catch (e) { out = e; }
} while (input != '"exit"');
```

... and other ways EcmaScript v5 has hurt me x-)
