This is a funny thought, but do you think this would really happen? Surely anyone hiring a programmer would be aware of this.

Oh, gosh, when was your last job hunt? As of 9 months ago I still heard a "This job requires Java so you'll be a great fit" from a recruiter when he saw JavaScript on my resume.
Wow that is not encouraging
From what I understand of modern hiring practices, the automated systems match for exact keywords, and if WebScript is not in the system, you don't get matched, and no actual human will even see your resume.
Surely you've never read the job description for a programming position
