Mum: "What's that?"
Me: "A book on the new version of JavaScript."
Mum: "Is that like Java?"
Me: "..."

They did it on purpose!

You're last rant was relivant to this, @devSparkle.

Wait.. Your mum knows about Java? :o Mine knows about a computer power on button maybe, but not much more

Liked for No Starch Press!

I think this is, as @mang would say, a frant.

@Skayo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@oscarascal I assume it's because it's always updating. I bet that she wouldn't know what it was, just it's name.

@Skayo Hand on my heart it genuinely happened. Not all mums are completely computer illiterate 😎

Took this book to learn JavaScript, other books followed

To be fair to your mother, from her perspective she has a point.

For her it's a programming language and so she asks if it is like another programming language, and yes indeed it is.

Don't rant about your mother, she gave birth to you.

I prefer lisp...

It has less brackets xD

She knew that Java exists, I think that's impressive.
