Java Is To JavaScript As Car Is To Carpet

java-memes, javascript-memes, programming-languages-memes, naming-confusion-memes, developer-frustration-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The meme brutally murders the misconception that Java and JavaScript are related just because they share "Java" in their names. It's like assuming cars and carpets are related because they both start with "car." The naming similarity is purely coincidental—JavaScript was named during the peak of Java's popularity as a marketing gimmick. One's a compiled, statically-typed language that runs on a virtual machine; the other's an interpreted, dynamically-typed language that powers the web. Different ancestors, different purposes, different ecosystems. Next up: explaining why hamburgers contain no ham.

That's just a "template" file, which I use search and replace in order to generate the three monomorphized go files. If you look closely, those aren't angle brackets, they're characters from the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which are allowed in Go identifiers. From Go's perspective, that's just one long identifier. Every day. We stray further from god.
