It has NOTHING TO DO with it.

That MEANS:
that the word "Java" in "Javascript" does not mean 
it is the scripting [=interpreting] form
of the compiler-language "Java", and cannot be compared with 
Vbscript as the scripting form of Visual Basic, 
ot other script forms of compiler lenguages,
or perhaps other compiler forms of scripting languages.

It does NOT mean that:
both are not computer-languages,
both are not a subset of English words,
both have never influenced each other,
both are nowhere influenced by any common earlier language,
are both used by human beings, 
some of them being smarter than others.
