This answer has flipped in correctness as of IETF 9239, updating.

iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/javascript, listed as obsolete in preference to text/javascript

| Apr 13, 2021 at 17:49 | comment | added | Mike | According to IETF's ECMAScript Media Types Updates, RFC 4329 is obsolete. | |
| Dec 8, 2020 at 16:57 | comment | added | jmjohnson85 | The Wikipedia article linked in this answer no longer contains the "List of common media types" but instead links to the IANA list of official media types. The entry for text/javascript can be found in this list and references RFC 4329 which indeed declares text/javascript to be obsolete. | |

The WG spec states that text/javascript should be used. The linked wikipedia article does not contain that information anymore.

…but the same line says that while it may be obsolete, IE<8 doesn't understand application/javascript.
