Indeed, JavaScript has much more in common with languages like Python and 
Ruby than it does with Java.

But even the supposed experts get this wrong. I was at a talk that Danny 
Goodman gave on scripting languages, and one of his slides said "JavaScript 
is Java without the gnarly bits."

I've never heard a more profound misunderstanding of JavaScript. <sigh>
