i was going to suggest it and was looking for
what i thought i saw.  after a couple of searches
i figured i must have imagined it.

cpu% grep -i javascript /n/sources/contrib/*/INDEX
cpu% grep -i ecmascript /n/sources/contrib/*/INDEX
cpu% grep -i script /n/sources/contrib/*/INDEX
/n/sources/contrib/fst/INDEX:piggy.rc: A script for generating html picture galleries.
/n/sources/contrib/geoff/INDEX:ifup: script for configuring additional network interfaces.
/n/sources/contrib/mjl/INDEX:readme: details such as usage of the scripts
/n/sources/contrib/rsc/INDEX:rlogin: rlogin in shell script
/n/sources/contrib/rsc/INDEX:scripts: various scripts for /usr/$you/bin/rc
/n/sources/contrib/rsc/INDEX:talk: scripts to generate talk slides
/n/sources/contrib/steve/INDEX:rc: various rc(1) scripts, some less useful that others, see rc/Index for details

all due to a missing 't' in the description.  there's also
inferno/charon's ecmascript.
