Except that Oracle owns both the JavaScript and Java trademarks via the Sun acquisition.
And Sun requested the name change:
in early December, Netscape and Sun did a license agreement and it became JavaScript. And the idea was to make it a complementary scripting language to go with Java, with the compiled language.[1]
So it's kind of the opposite of chickens coming home to roost. More like a term plan finally paying off.
Yes, thank goodness that those impudent thugs that usurped the good name of Java are getting their comeuppance 25 years later. This will teach Reddit user imacpro1 a lesson that he will not soon forget!
