This is a very snarky hyperbole. Solidity has as much to do with Javascript as Java does.
For starters, Solidity is a compiled, typed language.
It is still new and has to be improved.

The same language can be both compiled and interpreted, this doesn't affect the semantics of the language. For example, OCaml ships with both a compiler and an interpreter. There exist AOT compilers for JavaScript too.
Also, JavaSript is a typed language. It is just dynamically typed and does too much type coercion.
