Most stuff getting slung around, as the parent mentions, is rooted in the kind of development that relies on NPM-adjacent tooling. The two things you mention (Java and modern Web development, especially something modelled after another thing found on GitHub Pages) tend to be miles apart in this decade. Where does Java come in to it?
- bruce511 5y agoHe may mean JavaScript not Java. I get a lot of we newbies asking referring to Java when they mean JavaScript. Especially when in the context of web development. For the parent: Java is completely different to JavaScript - the similarity is an accident of marketing and an original vision of the Web (in which most code was written in Java not JavaScript.)
