Pronunciation

Correct

E-S-build

/ˌiːˈɛsbɪld/

The 'es' prefix stands for ECMAScript, pronounced as two letters 'E' and 'S', followed by 'build'. This follows the same pattern as ES modules, ES6, and similar terms.

ez-build

/ˈɛzbɪld/

Some developers pronounce 'es' as a single syllable. While understandable, spelling out 'E-S' is more consistent with ECMAScript naming conventions.
