> probably more people are aware of JavaScript than Java at this point

All the same, I probably get as many calls from recruiters to fill Java positions as I do JS positions. I've never used the former, and explaining it is always awkward!

I would tell them they are wasting your time by not offering you fitting jobs. It's on them to know what they are looking for, not on you

[singhrac]

To be frank this is a service to you. No company you want to work at has a recruiter that doesn't understand the difference (a fully AI recruiter would be better than this experience).

For normal people Java is a short way to say JavaScript.

[spider-mario]

I have never heard anyone do that. Do “normal” people even discuss JavaScript?

[thfuran]

I don't think I've ever met one of these people.

sometimes we make silly errors for years or decades and no one spots them. if you've been saying you hate java bloat/frameworks/whatever and meaning you hate javascript bloat/frameworks/whatever, people would probably agree with both. no one would be the wiser.

You mean ab-normal, I guess
