Hah, neat! I've been wondering about the word "jass" for quite some time. Whether it was just a word, or an acronym, and such... So thanks! :D

I dont find Wc3 Jass related to Java in any way at all. The two languages are very different, so I don't think that it means Java with Assertions.

That's a different JASS. JASS2 as used in WC3 is MUCH closer to BASIC than any other language I can think of. It is DEFINITELY not Java.

Given the incredible simplicity of it, someone else I was talking to came up with:

Just Another Scripting System

Because that's probably what it is.
