Answer 1

your mind.

joking. i don't know javascript well, but i think it's limited to website stuff.

java meanwhile, can't do html web stuff (i might be wrong) like javascript can. it does general purpose stuff like app or program development.

With Java you can create multiplataform desktop and mobile applications and also for the web directly. Javascript is less powerful and you need other libraries/framework...

Java is a full fledged programming language. JS is a scripting language. JS can only be used in certain environments like web. JS is designed to be like that. Notice it has none conventional input output.
