Come on guys ... Everyone was young once we all thought java and JavaScript were basically the same thing! ...

Granted I was 7... when I learnt the truth....

Nope. I never thought they were same #CoolBoyz

Learned the truth about the same time as I learned to read
#CoolBoyz

@tahnik how? They have a similar name... If you don't make that connection... It doesn't make any sense!
Unless a dev told you before you got into it

@FitzSuperUser I don't know really. I just never felt like they were the same. I thought they were related to each other but never thought they were the same thing.

@tahnik well that's what I mean thou... Related to each other not the same thing.

But they are obviously entirely separate things....

@FitzSuperUser "we all thought java and JavaScript were basically the same thing! ... "

@tahnik yeah like c# and c++ are the "same thing" as in they were in the same area? I dunno what youd call it

@FitzSuperUser haha damn man. So I would say something like this:

"c# and c++ are related to each other as in they were in the same area."

Not the same thing.

@tahnik to be honest mate I have no fucking idea what your on about I'm tired 😂, trying to work...

All I'm saying is young devs get bashed for saying JavaScript is like java ...

When they have similar names it's forgiveable that they might assume they are related

Especially since c++ and c often just comes to preference of the language you want to use

@FitzSuperUser "They are the same thing" is not the same as "They are related". In your post you said we all at some point think that JS and Java is the same thing. No, we all at some point think that they are related to each other.

lololololol. I'm just messing with you. Carry on with your work. The program I'm debugging at work takes a long time to boot up so I've got plenty of time to visit devRant and nnoy everyone :D

@tahnik I'm procrastinating ... I have to much to do 😥

And OP turned 8 today

@Linux thanks 😏

JavaScript[11] when it was deployed in the Netscape Navigator 2.0 beta 3 in December.[12] The final choice of name caused confusion, giving the impression that the language was a spin-off of the Java programming language, and the choice has been characterized as a marketing ploy by Netscape to give JavaScript the cachet of what was then the hot new Web programming language.

-- Wikipedia

It was just a pr stunt

@DarkMukke I did know that 😂 but thanks

Java and JavaScript is not same, I knew from day one.

@navz he knew from birth that's incredible I think we have a super genius or a wizard in front of us

@FitzSuperUser haha that was funny. Day one as in starting of development.

Nope, when I was younger I never thought 'car' and 'carrot' was the same.

@tomabolt why 😂 is everyone saying this shit... I'm sorry but ...

If you heard apple... And pineapple... Never knowing or hearing if the fruits before.... You would think they were similar... or ones the same with a twist you wouldn't think ha no they have nothing to do with each other

But as you know they are .... Just not
The same or similar

Same thing just with Java and JavaScript....

@FitzSuperUser maybe your brain associate stuffs together like this, but you should accept it's not the case with everyone brain :D

@tomabolt I believe it possible but unlikely that people's brains work that way ... It would be a flaw an hinder them if you don't make connection like that...
