Maybe, but as has been said JavaScript is not Java. It was originally named LiveScript but because of it being introduced when Java was an industry buzzword (anyone actually know why? I didn't see it as any sort of a big event) Sun thought it would make it catch on if they called it 'JavaScript'.
If memory serves, it was because Java was the first truly portable and platform-independent programming language. Never paid too much interest to it as wasn't capable of doing what I needed it to do - namely run realtime monitoring on co-extruders so I stuck with Assembler.
