Hmmm... C++ uses generally the same syntax, and it can reference the Java
API... That *must* mean... nah.
The things that make Java Java, are not available in Javascript. These
things include but aren't limited to: object-oriented (1) programming,
compiled bytecode-distributed class files, a *very* slick GUI API (2), and a
wide base of platforms to work with.
Javascript was a marketing kludge, is still a marketing kludge, and will
never be useful for serious applications.
You may discuss amongst yourselves. :-,

1. not to be confused with object-based
2. I can't wait for JPL -- Java GUI, Perl back-end, woo-hoo!
