LiveScript is JavaScript, "JavaScript" was just a rebranding in a joint Sun-Netscape marketing effort, while other Netscape technology stuck to the "Live…" naming scheme, as in LiveWire or LiveBridge. When there was still a language attribute to script tags, "LiveScript" was happily accepted as a synonym for "JavaScript" (or, rather, the other way round).
