Is Car and Carpet the same thing? Of course not. Java is a programming language. JavaScript is another programming language.

No. Someone at Netscape made the misguided and illogical decision to call it JavaScript, and if Sun (creators of Java) did try to do anything to make them change it they didn't try very hard, so it's still called JS today.
