why so java script and java have similar name

The similarity in the names "JavaScript" and "Java" is mostly marketing-driven, not technical. Here’s the brief history and reason: 1. Different Origins Java was developed by Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s as a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. JavaScript was created in 1995 by Brendan Eich at Netscape. It was initially called Mocha, then LiveScript. 2. The Naming Decision When JavaScript was released, Java was already very popular, especially with enterprise developers. Netscape and Sun Microsystems (which owned Java) were collaborating, and Netscape wanted to capitalize on Java’s popularity. So, they renamed LiveScript to JavaScript in a marketing move to ride the wave of Java’s hype — even though the two languages are very different. 3. Key Differences Feature Java JavaScript Type Compiled, statically typed Interpreted, dynamically typed Platform Runs on JVM Runs in browser (mostly) Use case Backend, Android, enterprise Web front-end (mostly) Syntax C-style C-style, but with different behavior
