JavaScript: The versatile, dynamic language powering web and server-side development

About JavaScript

JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language with first-class functions. It excels in web development but is also used in environments like Node.js, Apache CouchDB, and Adobe Acrobat. As a prototype-based, garbage-collected language, it supports imperative, functional, and object-oriented paradigms. JavaScript's dynamic features include runtime object construction, variable parameter lists, and source-code recovery. This resource focuses on the core JavaScript language, separate from web-specific APIs. For web development, refer to Web APIs and DOM documentation. The language is standardized by ECMAScript (ECMA-262) and the Internationalization API (ECMA-402).
