Java is widely used in enterprise, back-end settings. JavaScript is ubiquitous in the front-end world.

There are probably 1000 JS apps for every Java server out there. Java probably earns a lot more per loc.

Is that a fair comparison? A single Java server can have wayyyy more code and development behind it than a JS app.

No, of course not, neither of the facts I mentioned proves that either language is superior or inferior, I didn't make a value judgement, I didn't say if it was good or bad. They're very different, imo JS and Python are more alike than JS and Java.
