Please do not feed the troll.  The record shows that “javascript” is a 
misnomer that frequently leads to misunderstandings, particularly among 
beginners, outside of the FAQ, and in it in particular.  It has been 
deprecated by several regulars already, but at the time there was no FAQ 
editor willing/available to correct that nonsense accordingly.  Now there 
is.
