I once told my boss that when I advertised as being a java dev when he was wondering why I was having a hard time with JS. He still didn't get it and thought one was a subset of the other. I had to explain to him that you don't drive your carpet to work, they are infact different and only share some letters in common.

One takes you places, the other is a nasty dirt magnet. Which one is which is entirely subjective.

A flying nasty dirt magnet that takes you places.

So basically JavaScript with TypeScript.
