This is baffling. They basically replaced every instance of the word "Java" with "JavaScript" and it has zero to do with anything JS. HotJava, Java Beans, etc.

This is baffling.
They basically replaced every instance of the word "Java" with "JavaScript" and it has zero to do with anything JS. HotJava, Java Beans, etc. I don't understand why this is here.
From the linked "article":
"Making JavaScript a comprehensive platform with continued development of JavaScriptOS, JavaScript Beans, the JavaScript chip, and HotJavaScript
Making JavaScript ubiquitous in the industry
Developing new applications including media, enterprise, security, and commerce APIs.
Increasing profitability of the JavaScriptSoft division, with plans to be in the black by 2017.
"
From JavaWorld, 1996:
"Baratz defined the JavaSoft strategy as a four-part plan: making Java a comprehensive platform with continued development of JavaOS, Java Beans, the Java chip, and HotJava; making Java ubiquitous in the industry; developing new applications, including media, enterprise, security, and commerce APIs; and increasing profitablity of the JavaSoft division, with plans to be in the black by 1998. --Kristi Essick, IDG News Service

So wtf. I don't even. It's the old Sun World with some twisted rebranding.
Oh, I see, it's a joke--I get it now. Sorry.
