Answer 5

There is a saying, “java is to javascript as ham is to hamster”

Dont let the names fool you, althrough they are both influenced by C++ and both first appeared in 1995, theyre totally different programming languages. For starters JS is a prototype based scripting language oriented for the web. However nowadays you can use Node.js on the back end as well. Java on the other hand is an object oriented compiled language used on multiple platforms.

JS’s name is the result of co-marketing deal between Netscape and Sun” JS was originally called Mocha, renamed to LiveScript and then finally Javascript. To add to the confusion, javascript is actually called Ecmascript(ES6 aka ES2015) with different iterations from 2015-2019.

I’ll understand if you need to take a break after reading this.
