C is a C-like language.
C++, being a superset of a language very similar to C, is a C-like language.
Objective-C, as a superset of C, is a C-like language.
But Java? and Javascript? They both have C-style syntax, but apart from that they are both very different from C (and from each other).
Please don't say `C-like' when mere `C-style syntax' is meant. (And please don't think that having similar syntax implies any other close similarity between languages.)
From a scope and features standpoint, C++ and Java are quite similar. I would guess that that's why Java made the cut. No idea where Javascript came from, though.
