Java has nothing to do with JavaScript!

JavaScript was their design AND implementation.  They own 100% of the
JS code and are going to release it.  Sun does not have a JavaScript 
implementation as far as I know, why would they?  It's just another
scripting language.  (In my feeble understanding) there are hooks to 
let you call Java methods from it, but that's no different than 
calling C functions from a Tcl script or C++ methods from a Python 
program.

Above is from my regular skimming over the last few weeks of the
netscape.public.mozilla.* newsgroups.
