Comment on The Cscript Style Guide – CScript is the standard C

Comments

Given that CScript is the name of the "Console Based Script Host" for Windows, that can run JScript (Microsoft's old variant of JavaScript) and VBScript, and supposedly other pluggable scripting languages (I've never seen one in the wild), calling this "Cscript" is not a good idea.

It's a joke language, I doubt it will cause any significant ambiguity ever.
