Yes, about something that does not exist there is a countably infinite 
number of true statements about what it is not, including this one (which is 
similar to “rainbow unicorns with a jewel on their horn cannot survive on 
Mars”¹); excluding, of course, all statements to the effect that it would be 
not something that does not exist.  However, such statements do not add to 
the knowledge base and are therefore best avoided.

So, to whom it may concern, for future reference:

Mozilla JavaScript and other, different implementations of ECMAScript that 
bear the “JavaScript” name and are discussed here are _not_ scripted Java.  
The name “JavaScript” (with capital “S”) was merely chosen by Netscape 
Communications Corp. for the programming language in its Web browser because 
of the intentional resemblance to Java (which was popular at the time); it 
then carried on (even beyond Web browsers).

Through an agreement in December 1995 (1995-12 CE), Sun Microsystems, Inc., 
now acquired by Oracle Corp., formally acquired the rights to the 
“JavaScript” trademark, while Netscape was granted a license to use it; this 
was strengthened with LiveConnect introduced in Netscape Navigator 4.0, to 
further the use of Java technology in Web browsers².  JavaScript (1.0) 
(formerly “Mocha”, the codename for the script engine that lasted up to 
including JavaScript 1.1; then “LiveScript”) was then introduced to the 
general public with Netscape Navigator 2.0 in March 1996 (1996-03).

The name carried on (without proper licensing; CMIIW) to other, different 
implementations of ECMAScript such as Google V8 JavaScript (since 2008), but 
it was not before Internet Explorer 9 (2011) that Microsoft’s implementation 
was *externally* renamed, apparently for marketing reasons only (and without 
proper licensing, too; CMIIW), to “JavaScript (for Internet Explorer)” (the 
real name of that language still is “JScript”, as can be seen in the return 
value of the ScriptEngine() function available there).

See the ECMAScript (ES) (Support) Matrix (URI in signature below) for 
details and references.

¹ I have just installed

  <https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-php-developers/marsm4>

  Give Eclipse JSDT (contained in the “Eclipse for PHP Developers” packages)
  as your JS/ES IDE a try, and please donate to the cause.  Thank you in
  advance.  (I am a Friend of Eclipse, but not affiliated.)

² Java technology in Web browsers, as we know now, is not going to survive
  for much longer because support for the Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI) is
  going to be terminated everywhere soon (Chromium already did on Linux
  with version 35, other platforms will follow in 2015; Firefox has reduced
  support since version 30).  This also affects ECMAScript/JavaScript
  developers because of LiveConnect/XPConnect.
