Comment on Big Programming, Small Programming – Glow, the language parent

Dammit.. I checked to see that Glow was not taken :). Almost every name, that is not an outright racial slur is already used. Still, Java and Javascript are completely different languages and that has never lead to much confusion..

Not within the tech world, sure, but ask say a recruiter and it's a coin toss.

When faced with a JS problem in a SPA - around 6 years ago - I had a representative from a client say me "wait, I will install the latest JAVA and see if that fixes it". He even chose the jdk to be safe.

You can always disambiguate. "Radioactive Glow" has a nice ring to it.
