Одно из самых литературных объяснений – “что такое JavaScript и причем тут Java”.

Here is something else you should know about Javascript that seems like it was almost designed to be confusing as possible:

• There is a programming language called Javascript.
• There is a programming language called Java.
• There is an interpreter (‘thing that makes it go’) for the programming language Javascript built into most web browsers
• There is an interpreter for the programming language Java that is sort of built in to most web browsers, or was.
• THESE TWO PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES HAVE ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER

Кратко и ёмко. Затрагивается даже история создания JavaScript…

So Netscape said to a guy named Brendan, who worked at Netscape, “Please make us a programming language.
Also, you have to call it Javascript.
Also, if you can make some of it kind-of sort-of look a bit like Java, that would be even better.
Also, you have only 10 days to do this so get cracking!”

В общем почитайте.
