@das_g@chaos.social @will@ruby.social Yeah, we've seen people arguing both ways for "HTML is a programming language"! :3
"java_is_javascript" is a bit more clearly a joke, but still. Jokey person doesn't necessarily imply joke post.
(I wouldn't be surprised at all if they're joking, it's just their @ isn't necessarily an Obvious Tell.)

@IceWolf@masto.brightfur.net «Jokey person doesn't necessarily imply joke post.» True, and as indicated, Poe's Law makes this strictly undecidable, except by the poster (whose statements about the matter we would not be able to trust, because Poe's Law 😵💫). But that kind of rage-bite-y display name and @ handle is not untypical for dedicated satire / parody / (benevolent) trolling accounts, so that'd be my working assumption. 🤷 @will@ruby.social
