JavaScript Programmer’s Reference Warnings: . Be careful not to confuse the following: . LiveWire . LiveScript . LiveConnect . In Netscape version 3, a bug in the conversion routines yielded all Java primitives as JavaScript objects instead of JavaScript primitives. This causes a few problems because Number and Boolean objects in JavaScript behave slightly differently to the primitive representations, mostly to do with operator overloading and precedence. Objects will prefer to concatenate as strings rather than add as numbers for example. The valueOf() method will provide a way to work around this.

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. Warnings: . Be careful not to confuse the following: . LiveScript . LiveWire . LiveConnect . LiveWire is the former name for Server-Side Javascript. .
