  • JavaScript and Java are really only related in name & syntax. JavaScript is a scripting language that borrows syntax from Java. JavaScript is mostly used for interactive web pages. JavaScript is not compiled nor does it need a Java Virtual Machine to be run. JavaScript has recently be standardized by a computer standards group called ECMA and is now sometimes referred to as ECMAScript. Java itself is a programming language that can be compiled into an intermediate language (called byte code) which is run in a "Virtual Machine". Java was created to remove the necessity of creating different compilers for different operating systems. In theory, once a Java program has been compiled into byte code, it can be run on any computer that has a Java Virtual Machine. The group of people that own Java and make changes to the Java programming language (Sun MicroSystems) do not have control of JavaScript.

  • Java is an Object Oriented Programming (OOP) language created by James Gosling of Sun Microsystems. JavaScript is a scripting language that was created by the fine people at Netscape and was originally known as LiveScript. JavaScript is a (very) distant cousin of Java in that it is also an OOP language.
