If we're going to rename JavaScript, I suggest we focus on the Java part of the name :D

Even better, Python scripts become programs after they are run for the first time.

JavaScript is interpreted and then compiled and optimized. If you're writing TypeScript, that's just converting it into JavaScript.

At the end of the day, a JavaScript program is delivered as text to be interpreted at runtime. A .NET C# .exe or .dll is not. Therefore, one is a script, the other is not.

That's just what Kyle Simpson says.

In any case it's not a meaningful distinction.
