NemeskiOracle Java police start knocking on Fortune 200's doors for first time
ArghblargCan Oracle kill javascript as well, please? Please?
bc93no, they’re completely unrelated, some devs liked the name java and put it into the name of the new language they were working on, nothing beyond that
No, I know that – I honestly want them both to die :p
Both have been a blight on software development for decades.
BeigeAgendaI don’t have a problem with Java, and you can get Oracle free versions of Java.
JavaScript on the other hand is a blight as you say.
KogasaYou can get blight free versions of JavaScript too, if you use TypeScript.
Yeah, for a short time there the word ‘java’ was very ‘in’. Hipsters at the time wanted to use it in everything, just like the word ‘AI’ now.
JavaScript’s real name is ECMAScript.
ECMA by Ecma?
Ahh, needed Wiki:
It acquired its current name in 1994, when the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) changed its name to reflect the organization’s global reach and activities. As a consequence, the name is no longer considered an acronym and no longer uses full capitalization.
Java is to Javascript what car is to carpet or somesuch
SonotsugipaaWhy would a car have a pet?
AatubeI'd say it's as boat is to airplane
You can bet your bottom dollar Oracle will find a way if it is profitable.
