I really don't like that analogy. They're both programming languages that share a lot of syntax, unlike a car and carpet that has zero correlations at all. We could probably find something better.
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 😊
Just call it EcmaScript, as it should be.
YESYEsYesyes
Sounds like a great idea.
I hate having to explain the difference between Java & JavaScript everytime like,

Yes you are right.

I just told him that analogy and they are different technologies with a similar name.

EcmaScript is an standard used by Javascript.
JavaScript contains slightly more stuff than ECMA specs(eg: The things which are added to support browsers)
So basically JavaScript and ECMAScript are different.
