Well, there are a dozen of fine languages older than Java. What happened is
that Java caught the attention of the big media because of the responsivity of
web applets in HotJava, the first java-enabled web browser. Java was the
first language to be "known" by Wall Street before it was known to programmers.

The name of the language, "java", was aptly chosen, too.
