Why does it have this name though? Was it a java framework or something at some point?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was initially called "LiveScript", but since Java applets were really popular at the time of its creation, they went with "JavaScript" instead to get attention.

I didn't know this, Livescript is a waaaayyyyy better name for it. One more reason to hate Java applets I guess
