It depends on what you mean by “hybrid” language.
A language have a lot of rules on how is it compiled, interpreted and used.

I don’t think it’s very likely.

JavaScript is a dynamic scripting language. it is relatively implementation agnostic; in fact, Node.js is one example of how JavaScript can be embedded into some sort of environment. Node.js is literally a Javascript interpreter given some neat trick and functionality to use in its system.

Java, however, is a very different language. Everything in Java is an object, while in JavaScript, things might be a bit different. It’s to JavaScript as car is to carpet. If anything, the best idea is to simply embed JavaScript into Java using something like Rhino.

A hybrid language, if literally done, would require blending aspects of both into one. This would involve a new compiler, interpreter scheme, etc.
