    Is there any correlation between java and javascript other than their similar names. Was it simpy a coincidence?

    They both can run on the web! They both are written with code. They're both confused with eachother. Not sure if there's much else.

    From wikipedia: "There is no real relationship between Java and JavaScript; their similarities are mostly in basic syntax because both are ultimately derived from C. Their semantics are quite different and their object models are unrelated and largely incompatible."

    The name seems to be a coincidence.
