It should be noted that Javascript is not related with Sun's Java at all, perhaps it's shares some of the syntax, but so does C.
Nobody in their right mind would compare Java with C..
The proper term is ECMAScript, but try convincing someone to say that instead of the latter, you'll end up with a saliva covered face.
