    @oscarascal I assume it's because it's always updating. I bet that she wouldn't know what it was, just it's name.

    To be fair to your mother, from her perspective she has a point.

    For her it's a programming language and so she asks if it is like another programming language, and yes indeed it is.

    Don't rant about your mother, she gave birth to you.

    She knew that Java exists, I think that's impressive.
