JS vs Js, to capitalize the S or not

[Benjamin Jackman]

Ok,

so prepare for some bike-shedding (Sorry) but this has really been itiching at me for a while,

If you were writing a method that converts an object to a javascript representation,

would you use

a. toJs

b. toJS

c. I am clever and i would write it as 'toJavascript' hahaha

What are we thinking with the S in JS/Js do we capitalize it or not?

Maybe it's just me but I like (a) which is more inline with how I write the rest of my Scala code

and fits with my general policy on camelCasing acronyms. (treat the acronym like any other

word and only capitalize the first letter which makes converting to snake/train case more consistent)

I know, I know, don't be silly everyone can do their own thing 

or it's already ScalaJS so in ScalaJS we use a capital S get out of here with your lowercase s nonsense. etc...

My vote's for Js, since it's a short form for Javascript, not JavaScript. I'm using Js in upickle, and people generally call it Json (e.g. in jackson, gson, etc.) in identifiers not JSON.

(unless you're the browser with JSON.stringify, but if you're the browser you're insane anyway)

I strongly vote for "Js", too. The JS is counter-intuitive, at least for me.

( I also made a lot of typos already, writing Js as it commonly is. )

Hi,

I use JS, and it is consistently written like that in the Scala.js codebase. JS stands for JavaScript with an uppercase S. I never saw Javascript written with a lowercase s.

But hey, it's your codebase, you can do what you want ;-)

Cheers,

Sébastien

Heh, the typos I wrote about were exactly related to scala.js ... :)

BTW, googling or duckduckgo-ing is harder with "scala.js" than with
"scalajs". Dunno about the rest of you guys, but I use "scalajs" for
searching anyway. Why is it exactly that scala-js has a delimiter in its
name? Even "angularjs" tries to avoid this, as far as I see.
