Any reason why they ripped the original name for Javascript off? I totally thought you were joking until I went to the site and noticed it's a current project.
The name is a joke, the project is not.
"LiveScript was one of the original names for JavaScript, so it seemed fitting. It's an inside joke for those who know JavaScript well."
(from the site)
LiveScript hasn't been used as a name for JavaScript in almost two decades.
Thanks for explaining.
LiveScript was the original name for JavaScript in Netscape Navigator 2.0's beta releases.
