I should've mentioned that I use that analogy only for people with usually no development experience.

In that context yeah it should be fine.

e.g.) My bro-in-law ask me about Java update prompt and confused why he had to update it when he remembers seeing JavaScript messages on the browser.

Funnily enough, I just realized that Java used to be widely used for client side interactivity -- while now JavaScript is huge for server side applications 😊
