Chee-Oma I think the distinctions you are trying to make are: Java is a strong typed, compiled to bytecode, class-based OOP language. Javascript is a loosely typed, interpreted, prototypal-based OOP language. Both are imperative programming languages. Not to completely blow your mind, but, Java bytecode is technically interpreted in the JVM, but that's besides the point. 😉

~ swim ~ Indeed... I suppose if we wanted to expand fully on this for clarification to everyone else, Java bytecode could be compiled to native code with ahead of time compilation, it could be run directly against the CPU where bytecode is supported as native instructions, it can be fully interpreted, or selectively JIT compiled. Anyway, this goes beyond the scope of the point I was trying to make, albiet clumsily 🤪 delivered, which was to say, differentiating between Java and Javascript goes beyond referring to one as a programming language and the other as an interpreted language.
