One decade and a half ago we would laugh about JS, now JS is probably considering all its supersets the most used language.

TypeScript exists. It's a strongly typed JavaScript.

Cut through the mustard of JS libraries and frameworks like Angular, TypeScript (a superset), NodeJS, and at the core is JavaScript. It is the scripting language of the web, which allows for the creation of dynamic websites and web apps. It keeps growing and evolving.

The programming language that I have been using for years to make a lot of my web games. When Flash was discontinued, I had to make the switch to JavaScript. Honestly I wish I had made the switch sooner

Javascript is a fine programming language. But it is kind of weird because everything seems to be a object yet its "Not object oriented"
