JavaScript - English language of Programming
We all know that JavaScript is one of the fastest growing languages with a huge community and an enormous amount of npm dependencies
Right now Node Package Manager offers you more than 700 thousand packages, to help you build your app
About 3 years ago a majority of programmers were considering JavaScript as a client-side programming language nested in a browser. In September 2015 Node.js version 4.0 came out. It's a JavaScript environment based on high-performance JavaScript engine called "V8" and was already supporting newest "Ecma Script 2015" syntax. People started building JavaScript programs in the non-browser environment. The idea of executing code asynchronously caught on pretty well. People started to create more and more frameworks and libraries. Node is the fastest growing programming environment in terms of a number of npm packages.
But wait...
What can I create using Node?
Well... It depends on your creativity.
Executable cross-platform PC standalone apps?
- No problem, use Electron.
Maybe you want to create a mobile application for both iOS and Android? - Go ahead and try Cordova
- Or if you want to go "native", use NativeScript for instance
What about creating your own server? - Try Express or Meteor
or actually thousands of other packages that might bring your attention!
And so we are here... Fast, compiled, asynchronous language used for general purposes, loved by ones hated by others. Known by a majority of programmers and is considered to be the most popular programming language in the world...
...considered to be English of programming...
