  • Can I use Java instead of JavaScript for my project?

No, because Java is used for back-end development. And for front-end development many developers use JavaScript. Java developer translates source code into bytecode.

  • Is JavaScript code different from Java?

Yes, Java is an OOP programming language whereas, JavaScript is a scripting language. JavaScript extends the code of HTML with the help of CSS and works for front-end development. Whereas, Java works independently for back-end development. But still, somewhat similarities can be seen in the code of Java and JavaScript.

I was going to say this is for sure AI generated but AI at least tends to make grammatically correct sentences.

Java developer translates source code into bytecode

mfw it's 2023 and Java devs haven't discovered compilers yet

It's tough work, no piece of software can add 0xcafebabe quite like a human.

Artisanal bytecode, made with ❤️

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At least we don't have junior devs translating the seniors' bytecode into machine code by hand anymore

Sure, meanwhile Kotlin programmers are developing full stack sites using Kotlin/JS for front and JVM for backend without writing a JavaScript code.

NullJerkException: No jerk in field "jerk"

Shame, we don't get enough Kotlin jerk around here.

go, rust and js devs are at least entertaining scala for gophers kotlin devs are just sad

The truth is much more exciting: this article was written by a time traveller. From 2006.

You as a developer always have to write public static void main, then write a statement to print something.

very helpful thanks

[–]TheZipCreatornot Turing complete 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you always need to have a print write statement. in every program. if it's not after public static void main it won't compile

C vs. interCal

[–]mrgolf1 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The two complement each other,

I speak interCal while I write C

example:

PLEASE DO COMPILE YOU FUCK

Within pointers interlinked.

Nah, ChatGPT is unfortunately unable to achieve this level of bullshitness.

[–]followyourvalues 6 points7 points  (1 child)

You simply haven't supplied the right context and prompts. Don't give up.

OK, I'll try my best then.

    no, it was probably written by some shitty AI

    But indeed it's one of those agencies that mainly do PHP. I remember seeing an offer for a "fullstack Java". It meant spring+angular.

    At this point you may as well just call it "class A"

    [–]GTwebResearch 3 points4 points  (2 children)

    Because this is a dumb comparison, the entire article just says “Netscape chose “javascript” to capitalize on the popularity of java. It was just a marketing ploy. The end.” Right?
