You are confusing Javascript with Java. Different languages, different implementations. JavaScript is a Netscape invention. Java is a Sun Microsystems invention. Most websites nowadays use JavaScript, not Java. GMail uses JavaScript, as do all "AJAX" sites. Java is rarely used on "web sites". Nowadays. Java is used on the server side (Twitter runs atop Java - OpenJDK on their servers), or on desktops, for full blown desktop apps, outside the browser (Think: the Vuze bittorrent client, vuze.com, Jitsi, the open source Skype alternative, etc).
