• Its syntax was influenced by C. JavaScript copies many names and naming conventions from Java,
• JavaScript was not always known as JavaScript: the original name was Mocha, a name chosen by Marc Andersen, founder of Netscape. In September of 1995 the name was changed to Live Script, then in December of the same year, upon receiving a trademark license from Sun, the name JavaScript was adopted. This was somewhat of a marketing move at the time, with Java being very popular around then.
• JavaScript statements and JavaScript variables are case-sensitive.
