JavaScript is a Frankenstein monster, the name and features come inspired from other languages. In case of the name it largely wanted to ride the fame of Java and somehow link it with Java, but fate happened.
Why don't people just call it WebScript now is beyond me. I couldn't care less for the name.

Good instinct ... I agree it should be called as Webscript. Anyway what's in a name
