Can Oracle kill javascript as well, please? Please?
Java is to Javascript what car is to carpet or somesuch
Why would a car have a pet?
I'd say it's as boat is to airplane
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.
Yeah, for a short time there the word ‘java’ was very ‘in’. Marketing hipsters at the time wanted to use it in everything, just like the word ‘AI’ now.
No, I know that -- I honestly want them both to die :p
Both have been a blight on software development for decades.
I 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.
You can get blight free versions of JavaScript too, if you use TypeScript.
You can bet your bottom dollar Oracle will find a way if it is profitable.
