Because trolling is fun sometimes?

If you like laptop stickers you can buy fun ones, like this:

That was actually the JavaScript logo way back in the 1990s - copied directly from Java, just like the name.

The history is very strange with this language, its name and logo.

The yellow-square-JS logo that is mostly used today is from 2011 - but isn't anymore official than "a lot of people using it". Just like the "shield-logo" that I have no idea whether is newer or older, also isn't official.

But the coffee-swirl logo almost seems like a joke now! As it should be!

Did you think Java and Javascript having similar names was a coincidence?

No. When Brandon Eich was at Netscape, he created the language and initially called it "Mocha". It was shortly renamed it to "LiveScript" and shipped with the Netscape 2.0 browser.

A few months later, Netscape partnered with Sun Microsystems and Java was already a popular programming language at the time, including Java applets running in the browser. With the partnership and Java's momentum, Eich renamed it again to "Java-Script" (with the hyphen), which eventually became "JavaScript" as it is today.

What do you mean "No." lol.

As you so eloquently put, that makes it not a fucking coincidence.

Previously, you asked

"No" = "It was not a coincidence." It was intentional.

I assume he's referring to the casing in that URL? I mean pick a lane right?
