Maybe 'LiveScript' wouldn't have caught on and become so popular but now people routinely confuse it with Java. Even more so now that interpreters for JavaScript are available written in Java and some server-side application tools allow you to write Java code but run it in a script interpreter. That would be Java script not JavaScript.
Be careful not to confuse the following:
LiveScript
LiveWire
LiveConnect
LiveWire is the former name for Server-Side Javascript.
LiveConnect is a mechanism for allowing JavaScript to talk to Java in a Netscape browser.
