Key differences between Java and JavaScript: Java is an OOP programming language while Java Script is an OOP scripting language. Java creates applications that run in a virtual machine or browser while JavaScript code is run on a browser only. Java code needs to be compiled while JavaScript code are all in text. They require different plug-ins. Source : www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_javascript.xml 4 Likes |

Download a book (books) on each language. Readup and you'll see da diff. Corrections: -------------------- javascript is also Functional. - it has closures,lambdas and first class functions. - javascript can b run standalone - javascript can b run server side (node.js comes to mind) - javascript strted life as a web browser scriptg language. It was first named livescript bf riding the java revolution and switchg its name for som free publicity (and confusion ) - it was created by brendan eich Java: -------- What's there to say about java? +it's just there. Celebrated it's 8 generation this year! - it got functional this year. Got lambdas too - when java does somthing it does it right and does it the oop way. E.g c++ had generics and enums but c++ version was messy. When java did generics and enums - it came fully baked. Java is heavy duty language. For desktop, server and phone /mobile programming. Java's learning curve is steeper than javascript's. The reference jvm for java is from Oracle. Javascript has more than one competing Engine. Google's V8, mozilla's Rhino and java's Nashorn engine (as at java 8 ) javascript borrows concepts from the java language as well as Lisp. 1 Like |

asalimpo:Guessed so. The way u said C++ was messy n all when it comes to Enum n Generics.. When analyzing ur Lang, dont bash other langs cuz a C++ mafia might start an argument.. That i code in Python doesnt mean i'll say that Java's code is long n messy.. No offense tho.. |

That i code in Python doesnt mean i'll say that Java's code is long n messy.. if a non lisper said lisp had too many parenthesis and tht it shud use simpler namings like first , last instead of cadr,cdr, etc . You may say it's bashg. If Rich Hickey , said so, and created a lisp with less parenthesis and first,last,rest as keywords what wud u say? You wudnt say he's bashg! Bashg and criticism ar different. Innovation requires finding faults with the old. Like i said,java's enum and generics and exception handling is neater more consistent than c++. Much like dhtml is neater and better than html (and this aint bashg). |

Java and Javascript are two different languages. Infact, they have nothing in common. Java is a general-purpose, cross platform programming language. While javascript is a scripting language that works mostly in a web browser. |

osheno1: Pls let's try to give info dat r up to date. JavaScript running in a browser was then. Now it runs not only on d browser but not on d server and also as a standalone. JavaScript can be used to develop: Web app mobile apps desktop apps and also for embedded system. As earlier said nodejs which is an I/o runtime platform for JavaScript helps to achieve d above just as JVM is to java. |

JavaScript is now on the same level with Java and other languages. Some will say but you need Node.js run-time for that to happen, but it is the same with other languages too except for C that allows low-level operations, they too need a a framework or a run-time enviromnment or something else before they can work. |

Thanks all for updating the information |

Key differences between Java and JavaScript: Just some clarification, although I didn't follow the link to read. 1. JavaScript no longer runs on browsers only. The nodejs framework is a testament to this. It's runs off a standalone version of the Google's V8 javascript engine. 2. JavaScript codes are now compiled. Yes compiled! The V8 engine was a game changer for JavaScript. Infact it's part of the reason why node's got off on a good ground. 3. JavaScript does not require any plug-ins. All browsers support it. NOTE: Actually all browsers support the ECMAScript specifications, but this specification isn't as broad as the browser vendors would like. So some add vendor specific features. This accounts for the inconsistencies of JavaScript across browsers, Microsoft IE being the worst hit. I think your link is outdated. |

asalimpo: Java didn't get functional this year. It got functional with java8 release. Bad copy and paste |

Very funny, you cant compare a Ferrari to a 1980 model Volkswagen bettle. Javascript is a very primitive language does not have the muscle of what Java can do. Even though we have frameworks like nodejs coming with async programming it still cant compete with Java. Java was from ground up well thought of. The only language that can compare with Java would be C# and the newer languages springing up right now like Go,Dart. |

I don't really agree. I can say Java is better when it comes to embedded systems, but trust me Javascript can do all other things Java can do. That's why it is possible to convert a Processing sketch made in Java to Javascript using ProcessingJs. seunthomas: |

FincoApps:You just started programming right  We have been in this game for a while.LOL. |
| Re: Difference Between Java And Javascript by Nobody: 11:51am On Jun 14, 2015 |
seunthomas: lol JavaScript can do anything Java can, please don't say this outside, JavaScript talks to another language to do something on anything platform e.g Nodejs JS talks to C++, Qt Framework JS talks to C++ , Unity JS talks to C++ so seunthomas has a point |

According to a textbook I read a while ago, Javascript was banking on Java's popularity at the time so the word 'Java' was used to trick people into thinking JavaScript was just as good as Java [size=5pt]or something like that[/size] |
| Re: Difference Between Java And Javascript by Nobody: 3:02pm On Jun 14, 2015 |
seunthomas: @fincoapps Also I took Processing as a course in middle sex. Every language has a Graphic API c++ gdi,javascript Canvas and C# graphics class and java JGraphics not sure what happens here is that processing API are written in a way that you would understand them in Javascript. So they use the same method and signature. Look at lightgl a low level javascript library and Opengl. The methods are 100% identical but it's not C++ code it just converts them to similar JavaScript code. Same goes with that processing. |

Oh really, I also just finished my masters here in Middlesex. Anyway, I get your point. pcguru1: |
| Re: Difference Between Java And Javascript by FincoApps(m): 7:37am On Jun 15, 2015 |
Please why are people saying Javascript can run standalone. It might not need an html page or a browser anymore but that doesn't mean it runs stand alone. Who has seen a .js file alone (without .html, or .cs or.java) just alone compile to run before. If you cannot compile a .Js file alone then its not stand alone. Yes, it has really, really evolved, but it's still a scripting language |

FincoApps: wait Fincoapp ........ Efe ? |
| Re: Difference Between Java And Javascript by FincoApps(m): 9:23am On Jun 15, 2015 |
haaaa Remi.... hahaha I didn't even know . No wonder, I was wondering who else could understand Processing and ProcessingJs like that. Your name should be JsGuru or PHPGurupcguru1: |
| Re: Difference Between Java And Javascript by Nobody: 11:39am On Jun 15, 2015 |
FincoApps: lol am all rounded i research what i use indepthly, i saw fincoapps and remembered when you mentioned Middlesex and processing. how you dey ? 1 Like |
