Is Java the same as JavaScript? I use Opera v11.64 and now have JS turned-off. Thanks for the article, SAF.
It is not, that is the result of Netscape's unfortunate naming back in the day for ECMAScript (Javascript).
No.
Not even remotely. Except for their C-ish syntax, the two languages have nothing in common.
JavaScript was originally supposed to be called LiveScript, but the marketdroids at Netscape (remember them?) changed its name just before its introduction in an attempt to ride the coattails of Java, which, at the time, appeared to be the Next Big Thing in browserdom.
