Embedded/Effective Javascript

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’m unsure as to what the actual name of EJS is, both in the scope of the ‘language’ and of this project.

On www.ejs.co only ‘effective’ is used. However, it seems that this is more in a sentence context: “effective javascript templating - ejs” implies that ejs == effective javascript, but it’s not explicitly mentioned.

In this repository, only ‘embedded’ is used (which in my mind is better).

I’m opening this issue because these things lead me to believe that the maintainer(s) of this project don’t know either! Let me know what you think.

Yes, it’s “embedded.” It’s right there in the title tag for the HTML page. The “effective” language is really just fun marketing copy." Maybe it could be either one. Does it really matter that much?

The folks at NPM insist that it does not stand for “Node Package Manager” – indeed, that it is not even an acronym. (They also insist that everyone write it in lowercase.)

Do we have to choose? Maybe the “e” could stand for “elegant.” Or “elusive,” for when your template refuses to render. Or just “excellent.” 😀
