    no, they’re completely unrelated, some devs liked the name java and put it into the name of the new language they were working on, nothing beyond that

      No, I know that – I honestly want them both to die :p

      Both have been a blight on software development for decades.

        I don’t have a problem with Java, and you can get Oracle free versions of Java.

        JavaScript on the other hand is a blight as you say.

          You can get blight free versions of JavaScript too, if you use TypeScript.

      Yeah, for a short time there the word ‘java’ was very ‘in’. Marketing hipsters at the time wanted to use it in everything, just like the word ‘AI’ now.
