As soon as I wrote it I have tried to find a source I can link to but my google-fu is failing me. I will keep looking. It may have been Oracle rather than Sun.

  Here's this from Oracle (I think), might be relevant: http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_javascript.xml http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_javascript.xml

    I remember reading about it in an article where they got their hands on a "guideline document" for an expo (One of the big Java ones) for Sun/Oracle people. In it it basically talked about the need for constant low-level differentiation and playing-down of scripting languages. The link you posted above is the kind of thing this encouraged. Don't be actively hostile but more "Oh, a scripting language? How cute"

    Sounds reasonable but a bit outdated. Then again who would've guessed that historical ubiquity of JS scripting language would eventually put it on server side?
