People frequently make this comparison upon hearing the term sandbox, but this is a weak comparison. Yes JavaScript executes in a sandbox, but the JavaScript (JIT) sandbox is purely for performance instead of isolation, which is like comparing a pencil sharpener to a bulldozer just because they are both portable machines. A better comparison of the JavaScript (JIT) sandbox is the JVM.
