I personally would never compare the two. Someone said: java to JavaScript is like car to carpet. And I completely agree with that.


Reminds me of one of C++'s talks from Andrei Alexandrescu:

"std::allocator is to allocation what std::vector is to vexation".

There was another transparency inside:

"std::allocator is to allocation what alligator is to allegation".

The saying has been in use since at least 2018, so I think "someone" is accurate.
