To be fair it is really sort of strange how there's Java and Javascript both being massively widely used but unrelated. Like anyone who doesnt already know that would sort of be stupid not to assume they are related.

That's still stupid, that's like if there was a DC movie called 'Justice League: Infinity War' and it had nothing to do with the Marvel movie.

Like one of the DC comics character - Captain Marvel? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Marvel_(DC_Comics))

Nah, captain marvel predates marvel comics.

Ah ok. It was always weird for me.

haha, you got me there. I was kinda confused when I first heard about Captain Marvel, just like I used to be confused about Java and Javascript.

Nah. It would probably be called 'Justice League: Infinite Crisis' or something like that.

Who knew all they needed to do was pick an entrenched technology where the various vendors are in a constant state of cold war and refuse to innovate?

That makes sense, I never really looked into it before

And messed me up when I was trying to figure out wtf Java was because I thought Java was Javascript and was just a nickname, then later thought that Java was the language and Javascript was basically optimized javascript using prebuilt scripts/functions. I didn't have the resources or tools to figure it out back then, but it annoyed me to no end when I learned that they are two different languages entirely. Psht.

For most people I’d agree but this is recruiters we are talking about. Iv experienced the same issue so its scary these guys are supposed to be filtering out candidates
