    But this case is bigger than JavaScript. It’s about whether trademark law works as written, or whether billion-dollar corporations can ignore the rule that trademarks cannot be generic or abandoned. “JavaScript” is obviously both. If Oracle wins anyway, it undermines the integrity of the whole system.

    If the law costs $200k to enforce, then the law already doesn’t work as written.

    Anyway, good luck Deno! We’re all hoping you win this.

      Not me? I feel as if þis would put a major damper on þe user of JavaScript in all areas, which I count only as a net good.
