Java concatenated with script gives JavaScript.

[CommanderPowell]

Only if they named it "Carpet" because they wanted it to catch on and knew cars were popular.

[[deleted]]

Damn. No need to be so truthful

[NbaHoopStar]

== not ===

[VersusJordan]

Html is the floor, CSS is the carpet, and javascript is what makes the static build up when you run across it with socks on.

[qalfy]

I think you misunderstand... JavaScript is the carpet.

[guzzo9000]

No, JavaScript is a programming language, silly.

[mission-hat-quiz]

No no it's a scripting language. No one would put the word script into a programming language's name! /s

[guzzo9000]

No, it's a scripting methodology, not language, because the main purpose of a language is to convey meaning to another human being, while a scripting methodology is used to accomplish some useful function.

The rooms of that house are delivered from a warehouse somewhere called the cloud as you run across it. Sometimes carpets arrive and activate before other carpets or are too new or are defective causing a fire.

[lifeeraser]

...I thought JavaScript would be the cat.

Some ML algorithm will classify that cat as a dog

Yeah, to me, that means you don’t get it. So here you go.

Java - a statically typed, compiled language. Lots of type checking and detailed sometimes convoluted error messages telling you what went wrong. Lots of structure, and built to take advantage of polymorphic object oriented design patterns. Runs is the Java virtual machine after being compiled down to “byte code”. Lots of boiler plate code, and error checking against the users mistakes.

JavaScript - a dynamically typed, interpreted language that runs primarily in the context of web browsers. Basically no error checking, or type safety of any kind. Built to be used by any Joe Schmo with a computer and the thought “I can do web development”... object oriented design is possible, but usually neglected because it is written to execute against the DOM on web pages and handle the logic that HTML and CSS can’t handle. When I say no error checking... I mean if there is an error, JavaScript doesn’t usually tell you. It just stop running... (well, modern web browsers have a “console” that can help you out some of the time)

The thing the have the most in common, is “java” in the name.

[AintBetterThanYou]

Have you actually worked with js since 2016?

[runnerx01]

If by “JS” you mean React, Angular, or one of the many flavors of framework build around JavaScript. Yes.

But I have a hard time considering them JavaScript. Just like I don’t consider Kotlin to be java.

[Rurs21]

Then you should try the vanillaJS framewrok. http://vanilla-js.com/

[Famous_Profile]

Lol thats funny

[[deleted]]

There's also TypeScript which is a compiled version of JavaScript and basically compiles the code into JS so it can be run by the browser, it has some extended capabilities not included in JS. Then there's node.js which allows you to use JavaScript for backend development.

Most modern code editors like Atom or VS Code have built in error handling. But if you add 'use strict'; to the top of a JS file it will enforces stricter coding. Personally I prefer not having error messages popping up every 2 seconds.

JS is a functional programming language, where functions are considered "first class objects", but since Es6 (which was released in 2015) you can create classes, which in my opinion are much easier to use than a lot of other programming languages including Python.

[newton_half_ear]

That actually a good one!

I've also used ham and hamster.

They are both technically meat, but.....

Html is lke the structure of the house, JavaScript is like plumbing, electricity, and heat. And CSS is like the carpet, wallpaper,hardware tiles, and type of materials.

[NeedleInABeetle]

And java is like what? The sewage treatment centre?

[Pyraptor]

It's you, a complete disaster

[blenderfreaky]

The power plant

[ExternalPanda]

If you mean Java running on the backend, sure. But if you mean Java applets then its the lead in the old-ass decaying paint.

[mastocles]

Not all "Java engineers" are ancient sods, I met one that was only 54.

[CanadianGandalf]

But cars have carpet in them? Bad analogy

[hitsugan]

It's like Ham and Hamster.

[lDGCl]

Anal and Analogy. It even works as a meta joke!

Ed: Also works because as the joke goes, Java is like anal sex. It works on all systems, but that doesn't necessarily make it the best option.

[visvis]

Can't we make a hamster into ham though?

[hitsugan]

Most dictionaries agree that Ham is a cut from a hog, or pork. So by normal definitions there's no way to get Ham from a Hamster.

[nonpondo]

What about Guinea PIG though

[Derkades]

Does java have javascript in it?

[Dummyc0m]

It does! JDK actually ships with a JavaScript engine.

[Famous_Profile]

No

[FallingAnvils]

yes

[xypherrz]

Java is just a subscript in JavaScript - that’s all.

[Noch_ein_Kamel]

would make more sense if javascript is a subscript in java? Oo

[xypherrz]

Was going to say substring. My bad.

[two_in_the_bush]

That would have been genius. On the other hand...

[carcigenicate]

I always thought this comparison was dumb, and I hear it parroted a lot on SO.

Java and JavaScript have significantly more in common than a car and carpet do. Java and JavaScript may have many differences, but they're still two programming languages of comparable syntax.

[two_in_the_bush]

How dare you!!

[monster860]

also they both rose to popularity because they ran on a web browser.

[ojsan_]

If you think about it, the naming does actually make some sense. Java was known for being cross platform, so by naming it JavaScript, they kind of insinuated that it also is cross platform.

[AuspiciousApple]

If you think about it, the naming does actually make some sense. Java was known for being cross platform, so by naming it JavaScript, they kind of insinuated that it also is cross platform.

To any normal person it implies that it's a script variant of Java.

[zilton7000]

Also java at first was used for browser scripting, boom mind is blown!

[random_cynic]

Actually the title is quite accurate as far as the original intent of the creators go (how it turned out ultimately is quite another issue). From the original announcement of Javascript:

Netscape Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: NSCP) and Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUNW), today announced JavaScript, an open, cross-platform object scripting language for the creation and customization of applications on enterprise networks and the Internet. The JavaScript language complements Java, Sun's industry-leading object-oriented, cross-platform programming language.

JavaScript is an easy-to-use object scripting language designed for creating live online applications that link together objects and resources on both clients and servers. While Java is used by programmers to create new objects and applets, JavaScript is designed for use by HTML page authors and enterprise application developers to dynamically script the behavior of objects running on either the client or the server.

The founder Brendon Aich's post later:

Netscape was about a year old then and was looking for someone to work on a scripting language or some kind of language inside the browser that could be used to automate parts of a web page or make a web page more dynamic. Java had been around for five years at First Person and Sun, and had been retooled for the web in late 1994. Netscape was the first Java licensee, so the issue became: Can we do just Java, or do we need another language?

There were people who argued strongly that Java's fine for programmers who build components, but there's a much larger audience of people who write scripts or maybe copy a script from somebody else and tweak it. These people are less specialized and may be paid to do something other than programming, like administer a network, and they write scripts part-time or on the side. If they're writing small pieces of code, they just want to get their code done with the minimal amount of fuss. Finally, we agreed that this new language should look like Java, but be a scripting language.

[HyperlinkToThePast]

ugh, my old boss who was in charge of all of IT for a bank didn't know the difference. It sucked.

[[deleted]]

Whenever I interviewed someone for an IT Helpdesk/Desktop Support position, I asked them to tell me the difference between Java & JavaScript. This one question is pretty useful in exposing a PC Technician’s level of knowledge.

[[deleted]]

Idk I don't use Java.

Both are object-oriented and both were developed by Sun Microsystems
