"Other than an incomplete syntatic resemblance and the fact that both
Java and Javascript can deliver "executable content" over networks, the
two languages are entirely unrelated. The similarity of names is purely
a marketing ploy (the language was originally called LiveScript and its
name was changed to Javascript at the last minute). [1]
