Sun wanted Netscape to embed Java in the browser. Netscape wanted to make their own language. The plan was actually to embed both along with a canvas component, but there wasn't enough time to do anything more than JS for that release, and so Sun went with Java applets and canvas would have to wait until HTML 5.
