Why many developers start using javascript and it is getting popular more than ever? Happy to be a javascript developer and I explain why in this article

Introduction

JavaScript is one of the most popular programming languages in the world, and it is widely used for both front-end and back-end web development. It has many advantages over other languages, making it a great choice for a wide range of projects.
Here are some of the library names you can use for different purposes

  • React, Nextjs, Angular, Vue for Frontend
  • Nodejs, Expressjs, Nestjs for the Backend
  • React Native ( Mobile application development for IOS and Android )
  • Electron ( Desktop applications )

Versatility

One of the main advantages of JavaScript is its versatility. It can be used for both client-side and server-side development, which means that it can be used to create a wide range of web applications. I like this versatility and that enabled me to become a full-stack engineer in the long run. I was writing vanilla javascript for a very long time. Then JQuery came and changed many things in the web development area, the front end specifically.
