I still really enjoy the tidbit that the name JavaScript was a Netscape marketing move to benefit from the &quot;hotness&quot; of Java. &quot;Since Java was the hot new programming language at the time, this has been characterized as a marketing ploy by Netscape to give its own new language cachet.&quot; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;JavaScript#Creation_at_Netscape" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;JavaScript#Creation_at_Netscap...</a>
