What's the difference?

What's the difference between Java and Javascript? Are they made by different companies? I know that Javascript is made for the brower while Java is used for applications but I would like to know what the differences are. Syntax wise.

Despite their name, Java and JavaScript are 2 very different things
Java has way more keywords, different functionality and different purposes

Both of the following examples show the code required to print "Hello World" to the console
An Example of Java


class Main
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    System.out.println("Hello World");
  }
}

An Example of Javascript


console.log('Hello World');
