Felix Meschberger updated SLING-272:
------------------------------------
Description:
As discussed on the dev list [1], the server-side file extension for JavaScript
sources should be changed. Currently it is ".js", which is also used to
identify client-side JavaScript to be run in browsers. To prevent collisions in
both server-side script execution support and human recognization, the
server-side file extension should be changed.
Two options are at discussion: .ecma or .es. As .es reminds me of the
two-letter country code of Spain (yes, this a human brain thing, not technical
...), I would actually prefer .ecma. This also leans to wards the official name
of the language ECMAScript.
In addition, it alligns well with the jsp extension: "jsp" is short for "java
server pages", where java is also used as a file extension for source code. For
JavaScript it is "esp" for "ECMAScript server pages" and "ecma" for the plain
language source code.
