Very confusing when the two languages are completely unrelated.

I once had a boss who thought I could write Java Android apps because I knew Javascript from web development. "They're the same thing, right?"

Lifting a line from somewhere deep in the bowels of the internet, I told him that, "Java is to Javascript as ham is to hamster."

Got fired shortly after that. Company folded a couple of weeks later. Life moves on.

I always use "Java is to Javascript as a car is to carpet" but yours is also good.
