Why Choose JavaScript for your Project?
Like all programming languages, JavaScript is not the best choice for every project. But it is extremely versatile. From web servers and IoT devices to desktop and mobile applications, JavaScript can be found in nearly all areas of computing.
Let's look at some of the reasons why JavaScript might be a good choice for your project:
Reason 1: JavaScript is the Language of the Web
JavaScript is the programming language that every web browser understands. If you're creating a web application or highly interactive website, there's no way around choosing JavaScript as your programming language.
Reason 2: JavaScript is the most Popular Programming Language
Choosing to build your project on the most popular programming language (according to StackOverflow) has many benefits. It makes it easier to find developers and there is a huge amount of learning materials out there to help with almost every programming problem you might encounter while working on your project, which greatly improves your project's chances of success.
Reason 3: JavaScript is Fast
Some of the smartest people in the world are working at Google and Apple to make JavaScript engines that power web servers and browsers faster.
If it's important for your webapp or website to be fast and responsive, JavaScript is a great choice.
Reason 4: JavaScript is Productive
JavaScript is a scripting language and does not need to be compiled in order for it to run.
That means that code changes can be tested almost instantly without having to wait for compilation to complete, as is the case with many traditional programming languages.
Reason 5: JavaScript is Cross-Platform
JavaScript runs on basically every device. Every smartphone (iOS, Android) and desktop device (Windows, macOS, Linux) can run JavaScript.
So you only need to write code once and it will run on basically any device you want.
JavaScript also runs on the server via Node.js, which makes it possible to easily share code between the frontend and the backend.
Reason 6: JavaScript Scales
JavaScript the language is continuously updated to make sure it receives features that make JavaScript code bases cleaner and more maintainable.
Giant software projects like Airbnb run on JavaScript with thousands of developers adding code to it every day. JavaScript is not only quick to get started with but is a serious programming languages for large projects and teams (also thanks to great tooling such as TypeScript and ESLint).
Reason 7: The JavaScript Ecosystem is Huge
JavaScript's package manager npm is the largest package registry in the world, with over 1.5 million libraries that can be freely installed for use in your project.
If you need a specific UI element or algorithm, there's probably already a library for it and you don't have to code it yourself.
