To the best of my knowledge, JScript was Microsoft's work-alike implementation of Mozilla's JavaScript; and "JavaScript" was simply a marketing name given to a project originally called LiveScript, and LiveScript was '''not''' based on Java, (in the strictest sense). LiveScript was syntactically based on the whole family of "brace, bracket, and semi-colon" languages like C, Java, etc. People often make an assumtion that Java and JavaScript have a direct relationship, but they do not. It is also problematic for people to create such links between Java and JavaScript, since they are actually fundamentally very different languages, with JavaScript being a [[Prototype-based programming]] language.

Any thoughts? [[User:Func|<ttspan style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">func</ttspan>]][[User_talk:Func|<ttspan style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">(talk)</ttspan>]] 18:04, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

: I basically agree. JavaScript is [[dynamically typed]] whereas Java is [[statically_typed]]. As you write the syntax ("brace, bracket, and semi-colon") is within the realm of a whole family of similar looking languages. [[User:Hirzel|Hirzel]] 12:26, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
