- goatlover 9y ago1995. Interesting because Java was initially Oak, and JS was LiveScript. But then Netscape & Sun got together. Sun wanted Java to be the language in the browser, Netscape wanted an easy to use lightweight language, Brendan Eich thought he would be putting Scheme in the browser, and the end result of all that was JavaScript. But Netscape 2 was also supposed to ship with the JVM and a canvas-like platform for both to target. However, it was too ambitious, so only JS made it.
