To what extent? Javascript was not derived from Java, they are not similar at all except that their syntax was influenced by C, and Javascript is closer to lua or, hell, lisp, than Java.

Javascript has dynamic/runtime prototype-based OOP, first-class functions and closures with lexical scoping, dynamic typing and is entirely interpreted from the beginning of the file to the end.
Java has compile-time class-based OOP, only first-class primitive values and object references and some hack with inline subclassing with lexical scoping for a subset of variables and stuff, very static typing and is compiled to a class with methods before being executed.

Java is more like the alcoholic, fat, abusive legal guardian of JavaScript.

Because programmers are expected to be fluent in more than one programming language, and C++ is only a good choice for a very limited number of tasks.

I would like to point out that Ruby is a general programming language and not limitted to the web at all.
