[OLPC-AU] Fwd: [Sugar-devel] Booting Linux over JavaScript.

[Sridhar Dhanapalan]

JavaScript, not Java. They are completely different languages.

The back history is that "JavaScript" was originally positioned as a
scripting addition to Java. It quite quickly grew its own legs, and is
now a very capable language on its own. Unfortunately the name still
creates confusion.
