Don't be confused with name..
Java was created at Sun Microsystems (now Oracle).
But, JavaScript was created at Netscape in the early days of the Web, and technically, "Java-Script" is a trademark licensed from Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) used to describe Netscape’s (now Mozilla’s) implementation of the language. Netscape submitted the language for standardization to ECMA (European Computer Manufacturer’s Association) and because of trademark issues, the standardized version of the language was stuck with the awkward name "ECMAScript." For the same trademark reasons, Microsoft’s version of the language is formally known as "JScript." In practice, just about everyone calls the language JavaScript. The real name is "ECMAScript".

Both are fully different languages!!!
