Why does it have this name though? Was it a java framework or something at some point?
It was initially called "LiveScript", but since Java applets were really popular at the time of its creation, they went with "JavaScript" instead to get attention.
I didn't know this, Livescript is a waaaayyyyy better name for it. One more reason to hate Java applets I guess
ActiveX >>> Java applets. This comment brought to you by the year 1997.
