Question

In your opinion, what is the difference between JavaScript and Java?

Answer 1

They are two different languages. The one is used in large and complex systems, especially for corporate size applications while Javascript is the de facto standard for client side web applications.

Java is a very powerful OOP language albeit very verbose, while Javascript can be used for many things but is more geared towards web development and scripting (which isn't to say, you can't use Java for web development via spring framework etc)

Don't be fooled by the name. Javascript was named solely to piggyback on the popularity of Java although not having anything at all to do with Java.

Answer 2

The difference between Java programming and javaScript is not understood very well normally. Many confuse it to be the same. If one wants to start a career as a developer, one needs to understand the proper difference.
