Alors déjà, quand on veut de l'information fiable sur Internet, on la cherche en anglais, les versions françaises n'étant généralement au mieux que des traductions approximatives.
Et voilà ce que dit la version anglaise de Wikipedia sur JavaScript :
Although it was developed under the name Mocha, the language was officially called LiveScript when it first shipped in beta releases of Netscape Navigator 2.0 in September 1995, but it was renamed JavaScript[2] when it was deployed in the Netscape Navigator 2.0 beta 3 in December.[13] The final choice of name caused confusion, giving the impression that the language was a spin-off of the Java programming language, and the choice has been characterized[14] as a marketing ploy by Netscape to give JavaScript the cachet of what was then the hot new Web programming language.
