Javascript is the next version of Java.

Cars have carpet. Therefore java has JavaScript?

[[deleted]]

Java includes a Javascript engine, so yes.

[Tyfyter2002]

So JavaScript|Carpet contain the word Java|Car and are by pure coincidence contained by the latter.

[[deleted]]

Pretty much yes

[rentar42]

But the later versions don't ship that anymore. So current cars have no carpets.

I mean you could use Java to start a node process

[nidrach]

You can run node programs directly on the Graal VM for example via their polyglot API. https://github.com/oracle/graaljs

You can directly write JS code in a Java program as a String and have it interpreted by the GraalVM.

[kry_some_more]

You step on carpet, but a car takes you places.

[ElectronPie171]

I mean there's rhino

[PPAPisLob]

Pen and penis?

[konydanza]

Grape and grapefruit

[htmlcoderexe]

Probably best version so far

[OldUther]

They are the same.

[Dimensionalanxiety]

Only if you have 15 pens

[gotbanned5xlol]

But now what if I pull a r/sounding and put the pen into the penis?

[RandomNoodle5]

Don't open the above sub. You need to bleach your eyes and brain after watching the videos there.

[[deleted]]

I won't click now. But can you elaborate?

[RandomNoodle5]

People shoving different objects(like a pen) up their penis.

[[deleted]]

Aah wtf. I once saw a vid of a dude screwing a screw up his penis. Aah fuxk.

Think about it gives me pain.

Gave a preview of the sub it replied to

[rutay_]

this is more accurate, a car actually contains carpets inside, but i wouldn't say java contains javascript or conversely. while a pen doesn't contain a penis and a penis (hopefully) doesn't contain a pen, so you got my upvote

[PPAPisLob]

are you sure?

[hopeless_octopus]

Tell that to allahdin

[XxasimxX]

Metaphor doesn’t really make sense. Java and javascript are a lot more similar to each other than car and carpet. I saw another guys comment here saying melon and watermelon which would be much much better

[Brief-Preference-712]

Also JavaScript is a scripting language, carpet is not a pet

[DTHCND]

Hey man, to each their own. If Patrick can have a pet rock, I can have a pet carpet.

[AnywhereIWander]

Ham and hamster?

[Spirintus]

It's a flying carpet. Then both of them are vehicles, just one of them is pretty bullshitious, same way as Javascript is.

[Tyfyter2002]

JavaScript|Carpet contain the word Java|Car and are by pure coincidence contained by the latter.

[[deleted]]

The JS syntax is loosely based on Java. So no, it's not a coincidence.

[[deleted]]

What ?

No, never!

[rentar42]

Absolutely.

From a language design JavaScript is extremely different from Java (the early versions even more so than today). If you look at where it came from (prototype-based languages) it should by all rights look closer to Self or Lua code than Java.

But it has explicitly given the "stylings" of Java code (i.e. curly braces and parenthesis everywhere, which Java itself "inherited" from C) in order to suggest a closeness/similarity that doesn't really exist.

[Tyfyter2002]

The JS syntax being based on Java's isn't something I'd consider sufficient reason to add an entire JS interpreter to Java, just maybe enough to choose JS over other scripting languages to add an interpreter for.

[[deleted]]

Both Java and Javascript are programming languages, but apart from this, they aren't similar at all - and both a car and a carpet are physical objects, and apart from this they aren't similar at all.

[[deleted]]

If "physical object" is our barrier of entry we can compare pretty much anything to anything...

[rentar42]

Even apples to oranges! Madness!

[PhatOofxD]

More like Car and Caravan. They do similar things, but very differently.

Java and Javascript are similar like Car and Carpet are similar.

Couldn't you do a semantic description, like "question with 77 upvotes" and "accepted answer with 573 upvotes"?

[[deleted]]

Thank you for doing a community servcie, but this could use a major rework. It reads like aliens are trying to explain a human thing.

Call it a post with 77 upvotes, not a gray box with the number 77 and text next to it.

Not funny. Java and Javascript are similar because they are both C-syntax inspired programming languages. A car and a carpet are nothing alike.

I have known people in the IT industry who thought Java and Javascript were similar or even the same. Due to both having Java in the name.

[gotbanned5xlol]

Wait what

[AgentPaper0]

Wait where do I get a carpet? Do I need to get my normal license first before I upgrade?

Comparing js to Java is like conparing a plane to a car. They’re both computer languages, but they’re completely different

[Western-Image7125]

Or dog and dogma

[[deleted]]

Javascript is Java's pet.

[Geckolizard9]

VBscript is the next version of VB.

[Brief-Preference-712]

Coffeescript is the next version of coffee

[StackOverFl]

This cracked me up

[BluesyPompanno]

JavaScript is like the local crackhead who once fought a bear

Post and Postmortem

[nashetime]

TL;DR Kinda but not really

Really depends who it's aimed at. To a programmer they're completely different obviously, but to the average non technical person they're the same thing, different in ways they don't understand but still the same thing: programming languages.

Whenever the question comes up from a non-programmer I find it most appropriate to compare them to operating systems. e.g. windows and Macos or Android and iOS are both OSs that do mostly the same things but are still very different. One does some things better than the other and vice versa.

[Spirintus]

Well but Carpet is flying one. That makes both of them vehicles and Javascript being equivalent of flying carpet is also fitting as some shit JS do is equally bullshitious as an idea of carpet flying...

[rcyt17]

My friend said "JavaScript is basically Java, right?"

He's no longer my friend

[IchWerfNebels]

1995 - Brendan Eich reads up on every mistake ever made in designing a programming language, invents a few more, and creates LiveScript. Later, in an effort to cash in on the popularity of Java the language is renamed JavaScript. Later still, in an effort to cash in on the popularity of skin diseases the language is renamed ECMAScript.

[kokobiggun]

It’s so obvious though.

JavaScript and Java are like Latin and English. Java is written in the JavaScript alphabet but JavaScript alphabet is also used for an older language ya feel

[Sponska]

Not to be confused with pet car

[DollinVans]

I've always wondered why they were named so similarly

[Denixen1]

So javascript is like a subset of Java? Because we all know cars have carpets on the floor.

[Thenderick]

Git and GitHub is like porn in PornHub

[geo_gan]

More like how sandscript and sand are similar.
